The reading of a spring balance when a block is suspended from it in air is $60\,N$. This reading changes to $40\,N$ when the block is immersed in water. The specific density (relative density) of the block is:

  • A
    $3$
  • B
    $\frac{2}{3}$
  • C
    $6$
  • D
    $\frac{3}{2}$

$A$ 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 ....... $cm$.
