$A$ box when hung from a spring balance shows a reading of $50 \,kg$. If the same box is hung from the same spring balance inside an evacuated chamber,the reading on the scale will be

  • A
    $50 \,kg$ because the mass of the box remains unchanged.
  • B
    $50 \,kg$ because the effect of the absence of the atmosphere will be identical on the box and the spring balance.
  • C
    less than $50 \,kg$ because the weight of the column of air on the box will be absent.
  • D
    more than $50 \,kg$ because the atmospheric buoyancy force will be absent.

$A$ metal cube is embedded inside a block of ice that is floating on the surface of water. The ice melts completely, and the metal cube sinks into the water. What happens to the water level in the container?

The reading of a spring balance when a block is suspended from it in air is $60 \, N$. This reading is changed to $40 \, N$ when the block is submerged in water. The specific gravity of the block must be therefore ............

$A$ hot air balloon is carrying some passengers and a few sandbags of mass $1 kg$ each,so that its total mass is $480 kg$. Its effective volume providing buoyancy is $V$. The balloon is floating at an equilibrium height of $100 m$. When $N$ number of sandbags are thrown out,the balloon rises to a new equilibrium height of $150 m$ with its volume $V$ remaining unchanged. If the variation of the density of air with height $h$ from the ground is $\rho(h) = \rho_0 e^{-\frac{h}{h_0}}$,where $\rho_0 = 1.25 kg m^{-3}$ and $h_0 = 6000 m$,the value of $N$ is:
