$A$ sphere of diameter $7 \, cm$ and mass $266.5 \, g$ floats in a bath of a liquid. As the temperature is raised,the sphere just begins to sink at a temperature $35^{\circ} C$. If the density of the liquid at $0^{\circ} C$ is $1.527 \, g/cm^3$,then neglecting the expansion of the sphere,the coefficient of cubical expansion of the liquid is:

$A$ cube of external side length $10 \ cm$ has an inner cubical cavity of side length $5 \ cm$. The density of the inner portion is twice that of the outer portion. If this cube is just floating in a liquid of density $2 \ g/cm^3$, find the density of the inner portion.

$A$ tub is filled with water and a wooden cube $10 \ \text{cm} \times 10 \ \text{cm} \times 10 \ \text{cm}$ is placed in the water. The wooden cube is found to float on the water with a part of it submerged in water. When a metal coin is placed on the wooden cube, the submerged part is increased by $3.87 \ \text{cm}$. The mass of the metal coin is . . . . . . gram. (Take water density as $1 \ \text{g/cm}^3$ and density of wood as $0.4 \ \text{g/cm}^3$)

$A$ wide-bottomed cylindrical massless plastic container of height $9 \, cm$ contains $40$ identical coins and is floating on water with $3 \, cm$ of its height submerged. If we start placing additional identical coins on its lid,it is observed that after $N$ coins are added,the equilibrium changes from stable to unstable. Equilibrium in floating is stable if the geometric centre of the submerged portion is above the centre of mass of the object. The value of $N$ is closest to:

$A$ piece of steel has a weight $W$ in air,$W_1$ when completely immersed in water,and $W_2$ when completely immersed in an unknown liquid. The relative density (specific gravity) of the liquid is:
