An object weighs $m_1$ in a liquid of density $d_1$ and $m_2$ in a liquid of density $d_2$. The density $d$ of the object is

  • A
    $d=\frac{m_2 d_2-m_1 d_1}{m_2-m_1}$
  • B
    $d=\frac{m_1 d_1-m_2 d_2}{m_2-m_1}$
  • C
    $d=\frac{m_2 d_1-m_1 d_2}{m_1-m_2}$
  • D
    $d=\frac{m_1 d_2-m_2 d_1}{m_1-m_2}$

$A$ cylindrical block floats vertically in a liquid of density $\rho_{1}$ kept in a container such that the fraction of volume of the cylinder inside the liquid is $x_{1}$. Then some amount of another immiscible liquid of density $\rho_{2} (\rho_{2} < \rho_{1})$ is added to the liquid in the container so that the cylinder now floats just fully immersed in the liquids with $x_{2}$ being the fraction of volume of the cylinder inside the liquid of density $\rho_{1}$. The ratio $\rho_{1} / \rho_{2}$ will be

$A$ $0.5\ kg$ mass of lead is submerged in a container filled to the brim with water and a block of wood floats on top. The lead mass is slowly lifted from the container by a thin wire and as it emerges into air the level of the water in the container drops a bit. The lead mass is now placed on the block of wood. As the lead is placed on the wood,what happens to the water level in the container?

$A$ homogeneous solid cylinder of length $L$ $(L < H/2)$, cross-sectional area $A$ is immersed such that it floats with its axis vertical at the liquid-liquid interface with length $L/4$ in the denser liquid (density $2d$) and $3L/4$ in the lighter liquid (density $d$). The lower density liquid is open to the atmosphere having pressure $P_0$. Then, the density $D$ of the solid is given by:
