$A$ wooden block floating in a bucket of water has $\frac{4}{5}$ of its volume submerged. When a certain amount of oil is poured into the bucket,it is found that the block is just under the oil surface with half of its volume under water and half in oil. The density of oil relative to that of water is

  • A
    $0.5$
  • B
    $0.7$
  • C
    $0.6$
  • D

$A$ cube having a side of $10 \ cm$ with unknown mass $m$ and a $200 \ g$ mass were hung at two ends of a uniform rigid rod of $27 \ cm$ length. The rod along with the masses was placed on a wedge,keeping the distance between the wedge point and the $200 \ g$ weight as $25 \ cm$. Initially,the masses were not in balance. $A$ beaker is placed beneath the unknown mass and water is added slowly to it. At a given point,the masses were in balance and half the volume of the unknown mass was submerged in the water. (Take the density of the unknown mass to be greater than that of water,the mass did not absorb water,and the water density is $1 \ g/cm^3$). The unknown mass $m$ is . . . . . . $kg$.
