Two solids $A$ and $B$ float in water. It is observed that $A$ floats with half its volume immersed and $B$ floats with $2/3$ of its volume immersed. Compare the densities of $A$ and $B$.

An ice cube contains a large air bubble. The cube is floating on the horizontal surface of water contained in a trough. What will happen to the water level when the cube melts?

$A$ body having volume $V$ and density $\rho$ is attached to the bottom of a container as shown. The density of the liquid is $d$ (where $d > \rho$). The container has a constant upward acceleration $a$. The tension in the string is:

$A$ cylindrical block of wood of base area $30 \, cm^2$ floats in a liquid of density $900 \, kg/m^3$. The block is depressed lightly and then released. The time period of the resulting oscillations of the block is equal to that of a spring with a block of the same mass. The spring constant is equal to ........ $N/m$.

$A$ block of volume $V$ and density $\sigma_b$ is placed in a liquid of density $\sigma_l$ (where $\sigma_l > \sigma_b$). If the block is moved upward by a height $h$ while remaining completely submerged in the liquid,what is the increase in the gravitational potential energy of the system?

$A$ cubical block of wood of edge $10$ $cm$ and mass $0.92$ $kg$ floats in a tank of water with a layer of oil of relative density $0.6$ to a depth of $4$ $cm$ above the water. When the block attains equilibrium with four of its side edges vertical,which of the following is true?
