$A$ uniform meter scale is supported at its $20 \ cm$ mark. $A$ body suspended from the $10 \ cm$ mark keeps the scale horizontal. However,the scale becomes unbalanced if the body is completely immersed in water. To regain the balance,the body is shifted to the $8 \ cm$ mark. Therefore,the specific gravity of the material of the body is

  • A
    $5$
  • B
    $6$
  • C
    $7$
  • D
    $4$

What is dynamic lift?

$A$ drop of water detaches itself from the exit of a tap when $(\sigma=$ surface tension of water, $\rho=$ density of water, $R=$ radius of the tap exit, $r=$ radius of the drop $)$

The volume of an air bubble becomes three times as it rises from the bottom of a lake to its surface. Assuming atmospheric pressure to be $75 \ cm$ of $Hg$ and the density of water to be $1/10$ of the density of mercury,the depth of the lake is ....... $m$.
