$A$ body of density $\rho'$ is dropped from rest at a height $h$ into a lake of density $\rho$,where $\rho > \rho'$. Neglecting all dissipative forces,calculate the maximum depth to which the body sinks before returning to float on the surface.

  • A
    $\frac{h}{\rho - \rho'}$
  • B
    $\frac{h \rho'}{\rho}$
  • C
    $\frac{h \rho'}{\rho - \rho'}$
  • D
    $\frac{h \rho}{\rho - \rho'}$

$A$ uniform solid cylinder of density $0.8 \ g/cm^3$ floats in equilibrium in a combination of two non-mixing liquids $A$ and $B$ with its axis vertical. The densities of liquids $A$ and $B$ are $0.7 \ g/cm^3$ and $1.2 \ g/cm^3$,respectively. The height of liquid $A$ is $h_A = 1.2 \ cm$ and the length of the part of the cylinder immersed in liquid $B$ is $h_B = 0.8 \ cm$. Then the length of the part of the cylinder in air is ....... $cm$.

$A$ piece of metal weighs $45 \ g$ in air and $25 \ g$ in a liquid of density $1.5 \times 10^3 \ kg \ m^{-3}$ kept at $30^{\circ} C$. When the temperature of the liquid is raised to $40^{\circ} C$, the metal piece weighs $27 \ g$. The density of the liquid at $40^{\circ} C$ is $1.25 \times 10^3 \ kg \ m^{-3}$. The coefficient of linear expansion of the metal is:

$A$ body of density $1.2 \times 10^{3} \text{ kg/m}^3$ is dropped from rest from a height $1 \text{ m}$ into a liquid of density $2.4 \times 10^{3} \text{ kg/m}^3$. Neglecting all dissipative effects, the maximum depth to which the body sinks before returning to float on the surface is: (in $\text{ m}$)
