State whether the following statements are True or False:
$(i)$ If the weight of a body is greater than the buoyant force of the liquid,the body floats on the surface of the liquid.
$(ii)$ The velocity of water at the bottom of a river is always slower than at the surface.
$(iii)$ The angle of contact increases with an increase in the temperature of the liquid.

(N/A) $(i)$ False. If the weight of the body is greater than the buoyant force,the body will sink in the liquid.
$(ii)$ True. Due to the viscosity of water and the friction between the water and the riverbed,the velocity of water is lowest at the bottom and highest near the surface.
$(iii)$ False. The angle of contact generally decreases as the temperature of the liquid increases because the surface tension of the liquid decreases with an increase in temperature.

$A$ bucket contains water filled up to a height $h = 15 \ cm$. The bucket is tied to a rope which is passed over a frictionless light pulley,and the other end of the rope is tied to a weight of mass which is half of that of the (bucket $+$ water). The water pressure above atmospheric pressure at the bottom is ....... $kPa$.
