$A$ man is carrying a block of a certain substance (of density $1000 \,kg/m^3$) weighing $1 \,kg$ in his left hand and a bucket filled with water and weighing $10 \,kg$ in his right hand. He drops the block into the bucket. How much load does he carry in his right hand now (in $,kg$)?

What is buoyancy?

$A$ wooden block of density $0.5 \ g/cc$ is tied to a string. The other end of the string is fixed to the bottom of a tank. The tank is filled with a liquid of density $1 \ g/cc$. If the tension of the string is $20 \ N$, then the mass of the block is (Take $g = 10 \ m/s^2$) (in $kg$)

$A$ concrete sphere of radius $R$ has a cavity of radius $r$ which is packed with sawdust. The specific gravities of concrete and sawdust are $2.4$ and $0.3$ respectively. For this sphere to float with its entire volume submerged under water,the ratio of the mass of concrete to the mass of sawdust will be:

$A$ wooden block of volume $1000\, cm^3$ is suspended from a spring balance. It weighs $12\, N$ in air. It is suspended in water such that half of the block is below the surface of water. The reading of the spring balance is ...... $N$.

Two pieces of metal when immersed in a liquid have equal upthrust on them; then
