$A$ piece of metal weighs $45 \ g$ in air and $25 \ g$ in a liquid of density $1.5 \times 10^3 \ kg \ m^{-3}$ kept at $30^{\circ} C$. When the temperature of the liquid is raised to $40^{\circ} C$, the metal piece weighs $27 \ g$. The density of the liquid at $40^{\circ} C$ is $1.25 \times 10^3 \ kg \ m^{-3}$. The coefficient of linear expansion of the metal is:

$A$ cylindrical block floats vertically in a liquid of density $\rho_{1}$ kept in a container such that the fraction of volume of the cylinder inside the liquid is $x_{1}$. Then some amount of another immiscible liquid of density $\rho_{2} (\rho_{2} < \rho_{1})$ is added to the liquid in the container so that the cylinder now floats just fully immersed in the liquids with $x_{2}$ being the fraction of volume of the cylinder inside the liquid of density $\rho_{1}$. The ratio $\rho_{1} / \rho_{2}$ will be

$A$ body floats with $\frac{1}{n}$ of its volume outside of water. If the body is pushed to a depth $h$ inside the water and released, it will come to the surface after time $t$. Then:

$A$ solid sphere of radius $r$ is floating at the interface of two immiscible liquids of densities $\rho_1$ and $\rho_2$ $(\rho_2 > \rho_1)$,with half of its volume lying in each. The height of the upper liquid column from the interface of the two liquids is $h$. The force exerted on the sphere by the upper liquid is (atmospheric pressure $= p_0$ and acceleration due to gravity is $g$).
