The spring balance $A$ reads $2 \, kg$ with a block $m$ suspended from it. $A$ balance $B$ reads $5 \, kg$ when a beaker filled with liquid is put on the pan of the balance. The two balances are now arranged such that the hanging mass is inside the liquid as shown in the figure. In this situation:

  • A
    The balance $A$ will read more than $2 \, kg$.
  • B
    The balance $B$ will read more than $5 \, kg$.
  • C
    The balance $A$ will read less than $2 \, kg$ and $B$ will read more than $5 \, kg$.
  • D
    Both $(b)$ and $(c)$.

$A$ 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 of density $1.2 \times 10^{3} \text{ kg/m}^3$ is dropped from rest from a height $1 \text{ m}$ into a liquid of density $2.4 \times 10^{3} \text{ kg/m}^3$. Neglecting all dissipative effects, the maximum depth to which the body sinks before returning to float on the surface is: (in $\text{ m}$)
