The weight indicated on a balance is $X$ when a beaker of water is placed on it. $A$ solid object has weight $Y$ in air and displaces weight $Z$ of water when completely immersed. The given diagram shows the object suspended from a light string and completely immersed in the beaker of water. What is the balance reading in the given arrangement?

As shown in the figure,a container is filled with a liquid of density $2d$ up to a height of $H/2$ and a liquid of density $d$ above it up to a height of $H/2$. $A$ solid cylinder of cross-sectional area $A/5$ and length $L$ $(L < H/2)$ is placed vertically in this container. The cylinder floats vertically such that its lower end is at a distance of $L/4$ from the interface of the two liquids. Find the density $D$ of the cylinder. (The atmospheric pressure at the surface of the upper liquid is $P_0$.)

An air bubble of radius $1\,cm$ in water has an upward acceleration of $9.8\,cm\,s^{-2}$. The density of water is $1\,g\,cm^{-3}$ and water offers negligible drag force on the bubble. The mass of the bubble is $.......g$.
$(g = 980\,cm\,s^{-2})$

$A$ wooden block is floating on water kept in a beaker. $40 \%$ of the block is above the water surface. Now the beaker is kept inside a lift that starts going upward with acceleration equal to $g / 2$. The block will then

State the law of floatation.

Two non-mixing liquids of densities $\rho$ and $n\rho$ $(n > 1)$ are put in a container. The height of each liquid is $h$. $A$ solid cylinder of length $L$ and density $d$ is placed in this container. The cylinder floats with its axis vertical and a length $pL$ $(p < 1)$ submerged in the denser liquid. The density $d$ is equal to:
