$A$ cylindrical block of area of cross-section $A$ and of material of density $\rho$ is placed in a liquid of density one-third of the density of the block. The block compresses a spring,and the compression in the spring is one-third of the length of the block. If the acceleration due to gravity is $g$,the spring constant of the spring is:

  • A
    $\rho Ag$
  • B
    $2\rho Ag$
  • C
    $2\rho Ag/3$
  • D
    $\rho Ag/3$

An object suspended by a wire stretches it by $10 \,mm$. When the object is immersed in a liquid,the elongation in the wire reduces by $\frac{10}{3} \,mm$. The ratio of the relative densities of the object and the liquid is ............

An object with uniform density $\rho$ is attached to a spring that is known to stretch linearly with applied force. When the spring-object system is immersed in a liquid of density $\rho_1$,the spring stretches by an amount $x_1$ (where $\rho > \rho_1$). When the experiment is repeated in a liquid of density $\rho_2$ (where $\rho_2 < \rho_1$),the spring stretches by an amount $x_2$. Neglecting any buoyant force on the spring,the density of the object is:
