$A$ piece of granite floats at the interface of mercury and water contained in a beaker as shown in the figure. If the densities of granite, water, and mercury are $\rho, \rho_1$, and $\rho_2$ respectively, the ratio of the volume of granite in water to the volume of granite in mercury is:

  • A
    $\frac{\rho_2-\rho}{\rho-\rho_1}$
  • B
    $\frac{\rho_2+\rho}{\rho_1+\rho}$
  • C
    $\frac{\rho_1 \rho_2}{\rho}$
  • D
    $\frac{\rho_1}{\rho_2}$

$A$ soft plastic bottle,filled with water of density $1 \text{ g/cc}$,contains an inverted glass test-tube with some air (ideal gas) trapped inside,as shown in the figure. The test-tube has a mass of $5 \text{ g}$,and it is made of thick glass with a density of $2.5 \text{ g/cc}$. Initially,the bottle is sealed at atmospheric pressure $P_0 = 10^5 \text{ Pa}$,such that the volume of the trapped air is $V_0 = 3.3 \text{ cc}$. When the bottle is squeezed from the outside at a constant temperature,the pressure inside increases and the volume of the trapped air decreases. It is observed that the test-tube begins to sink at a pressure $P_0 + \Delta P$ without changing its orientation. At this pressure,the volume of the trapped air is $V_0 - \Delta V$.
Let $\Delta V = X \text{ cc}$ and $\Delta P = Y \times 10^3 \text{ Pa}$.
$(1)$ The value of $X$ is
$(2)$ The value of $Y$ is

$A$ uniform rod is suspended horizontally from its mid-point. $A$ piece of metal whose weight is $w$ is suspended at a distance $l$ from the mid-point. Another weight $w_{1}$ is suspended on the other side at a distance $l_{1}$ from the mid-point to bring the rod to a horizontal position. When $w$ is completely immersed in water, $w_{1}$ needs to be kept at a distance $l_{2}$ from the mid-point to get the rod back into a horizontal position. The specific gravity of the metal piece is
