Assertion $(A)$: $A$ helium-filled balloon does not rise indefinitely in the air but halts after a certain height.
Reason $(R)$: Viscosity opposes the motion of the balloon. Choose any one of the following four responses:

  • A
    If both $(A)$ and $(R)$ are true and $(R)$ is the correct explanation of $(A)$.
  • B
    If both $(A)$ and $(R)$ are true but $(R)$ is not the correct explanation of $(A)$.
  • C
    If $(A)$ is true but $(R)$ is false.
  • D
    If $(A)$ is false but $(R)$ is true.

$A$ spring balance $A$ reads $2 \,kg$ with a block of mass $m$ suspended from it. Another balance $B$ reads $3 \,kg$ when a beaker with a liquid is put on its pan. The two balances are now so arranged that the hanging mass $m$ is fully immersed inside the liquid in the beaker as shown in the figure. In this situation,

$A$ ball of relative density $0.8$ falls into water from a height of $2 \ m$. The depth to which the ball will sink is ........ $m$ (neglect viscous forces):

$A$ wide-bottomed cylindrical massless plastic container of height $9 \, cm$ contains $40$ identical coins and is floating on water with $3 \, cm$ of its height submerged. If we start placing additional identical coins on its lid,it is observed that after $N$ coins are added,the equilibrium changes from stable to unstable. Equilibrium in floating is stable if the geometric centre of the submerged portion is above the centre of mass of the object. The value of $N$ is closest to:

Four identical beakers contain the same amount of water as shown below. Beaker $A$ contains only water. $A$ lead ball is held submerged in beaker $B$ by a string from above. $A$ same-sized plastic ball,say a table tennis $(TT)$ ball,is held submerged in beaker $C$ by a string attached to a stand from outside. Beaker $D$ contains a same-sized $TT$ ball which is held submerged by a string attached to the bottom of the beaker. These beakers (without the stand) are placed on weighing pans and register readings $w_{A}, w_{B}, w_{C}$,and $w_{D}$ for $A, B, C$,and $D$,respectively. Effects of the mass and volume of the stand and string are to be neglected.
