The loss in weight of a solid when immersed in a liquid at $0^o C$ is $W_0$ and at $t^o C$ is $W$. If the cubical coefficients of expansion of the solid and the liquid are $\gamma_s$ and $\gamma_l$ respectively,then $W$ is equal to:

  • A
    $W_0 [1 + ( \gamma _s -\gamma _l) t]$
  • B
    $W_0 [1 - (\gamma_s -\gamma_l)t]$
  • C
    $W_0 [(\gamma_s -\gamma_l) t]$
  • D
    $W_0t/(\gamma_s -\gamma_l)$

$A$ 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
