$A$ and $B$ are two metallic pieces. They are fully immersed in water and then weighed. Now they show same loss of weight. The conclusion therefore is:
Two solids A and B Float is a liquid. 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.
A piece of paraffin wax of density 0.9 g/cc floats on water.A layer of turpentine of density 0.87 g/cc is added on top of water until the wax is entirely submerged.The ratio of the volume of wax immersed in water to that in turpentine is
A 70 g substance has a volume of $35:cm^3$. It will float on the surface of the water.
An object is placed in 3 beakers containing liquids A, B and C respectively. If the density of object (d) when compared to tensities of liquids A, B and C is given by $d _A < d < d _B < d _C$ then the body sinks in
A body of mass $120kg$ and density $600kg/{m}^{3}$ floats in water. What additional mass could be added to the body so that the body will just sink?
Write the following steps in a sequence to verify Archimedes' principle.
(a) The object is completed immersed in a liquid.
(b) The weight of the object in air is measured by using a spring balance ($w _{1}$).
(c) The weight of the object in the given liquid is determined ($w _{1}$).
(d) The loss of weight of the object ($w _{1}-w _{2}$) is determined.
(e) The weight of the liquid displaced by the object (w) is determined.
(f) The value of ($w _{1}-w _{2}$) is compared with the value of (w).
The density of ice is $917\ kgm^{-3}$. What fraction of the volume of a piece of ice will be above water, when floating in fresh water?
Construction of a submarine is based on.
A body of density $\rho$ is dropped from rest from a height h into a lake of density $\sigma$, where $\sigma > \rho$. Neglecting all dissipative forces, the maximum depth to which the body sinks before returning to float on surface
