The ratio of masses of a cubical block of wood and a chunk of concrete is $\frac{3}{5}$ so that the combination just floats with its entire volume submerged under water. If the specific gravity of wood is $0.5$,then the specific gravity of concrete will be:

What is buoyant force?

$A$ pan balance has a container of water with an overflow spout on the right-hand pan as shown. It is full of water right up to the overflow spout. $A$ container on the left-hand pan is positioned to catch any water that overflows. The entire apparatus is adjusted so that it is balanced. $A$ brass weight on the end of a string is then lowered into the water,but not allowed to rest on the bottom of the container. What happens next?

Two solids $A$ and $B$ float in water. It is observed that $A$ floats with half its volume immersed and $B$ floats with $2/3$ of its volume immersed. Compare the densities of $A$ and $B$.

If $W$ is the weight of a body of density $\rho$ in vacuum,then its apparent weight in air of density $\sigma$ is:

$A$ hollow sphere of external radius $R$ and thickness $t$ $(t \ll R)$ is made of a metal of density $\rho$. The sphere will float in water if:
