$A$ uniform rod of density $\rho$ is placed in a wide tank containing a liquid of density $\rho_0$ $(\rho_0 > \rho)$. The depth of the liquid in the tank is half the length of the rod. The rod is in equilibrium,with its lower end resting on the bottom of the tank. In this position,the rod makes an angle $\theta$ with the horizontal.

  • A
    $\sin \theta = \frac{1}{2}\sqrt{\frac{\rho_0}{\rho}}$
  • B
    $\sin \theta = \frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{\rho_0}{\rho}$
  • C
    $\sin \theta = \sqrt{\frac{\rho}{\rho_0}}$
  • D
    $\sin \theta = \frac{\rho_0}{\rho}$

$A$ body is suspended by a light string. The tensions in the string when the body is in air,when the body is totally immersed in water,and when the body is totally immersed in a liquid are respectively $40.2 \,N$,$28.4 \,N$,and $16.6 \,N$. The density of the liquid is

$A$ hollow cone floats with its axis vertical up to one-third of its height in a liquid of relative density $0.8$ and with its vertex submerged. When another liquid of relative density $\rho$ is filled in it up to one-third of its height,the cone floats up to half its vertical height. The height of the cone is $0.10 \ m$ and the radius of the circular base is $0.05 \ m$. The specific gravity $\rho$ is given by

$A$ hot air balloon is carrying some passengers and a few sandbags of mass $1 kg$ each,so that its total mass is $480 kg$. Its effective volume providing buoyancy is $V$. The balloon is floating at an equilibrium height of $100 m$. When $N$ number of sandbags are thrown out,the balloon rises to a new equilibrium height of $150 m$ with its volume $V$ remaining unchanged. If the variation of the density of air with height $h$ from the ground is $\rho(h) = \rho_0 e^{-\frac{h}{h_0}}$,where $\rho_0 = 1.25 kg m^{-3}$ and $h_0 = 6000 m$,the value of $N$ is:

The weight of a sphere in air is $50 \ g$. Its weight is $40 \ g$ in a liquid at temperature $20^{\circ} C$. When the temperature increases to $70^{\circ} C$,its weight becomes $45 \ g$. The ratio of the densities of the liquid at the two given temperatures is: (in $: 1$)
