An iceberg of density \(900 ~\text{kg/m}^ 3\) is floating in the water of density \(1000 ~\text{kg/m}^ 3.\) The percentage of the volume of ice cube outside the water is:
1. \(20\% \)
2. \(35\% \)
3. \(10\% \)
4. \(25\% \)
If two iron balls when fully immersed in water experience thrust force in the ratio of \(1:2\), then the ratio of the masses of the balls will be:
1. \(1:1\)
2. \(1:2\)
3. \(2:1\)
4. \(1:4\)
A body of density \(0.7\) g/cm3 floats on a lake of water. The fraction of the body that is outside water is:
1. \(30 \text{%}\)
2. \(70 \text{%}\)
3. \(25 \text{%}\)
4. \(50 \text{%}\)
The reading of a spring balance when a block is suspended from it in the air is 60 N. This reading is changed to 40 N when the block is submerged in water. The specific gravity of the block, therefore, must be:
1. 3
2. 2
3. 6
4. 3/2
A beaker full of water is placed on a spring balance. If we put our finger in water without touching the beaker, how will the reading of the balance change?
[Take \(ρ _{finger} > ρ _{wate r}\)]
1. | Increase | 2. | Decrease |
3. | Remain the same | 4. | Will be halved |
Two non-mixing liquids of densities and \(n 𝜌 (n>1)\) are put in a container. The height of each liquid is \(h.\) A solid cylinder floats with its axis vertical and length \(pL (𝑝 < 1)\) in the denser liquid. The density of the cylinder is \(d.\) The density \(d\) is equal to:
1. \({[2+(n+1)p}] 𝜌\)
2. \([{2+(n-1)p}] 𝜌\)
3. \([{1+(n-1)p}] 𝜌\)
4. \([{1+(n+1)p}] 𝜌\)
If two pieces of metal when immersed in a liquid have equal upthrust on them, then:
1. | Both pieces must have equal weights |
2. | Both pieces must have equal densities |
3. | Both pieces must have equal volumes |
4. | Both are floating in the same depth |
A boat carrying steel balls is floating on the surface of water in a tank. If the balls are thrown into the tank one by one, how will it affect the level of water?
1. | It will remain unchanged |
2. | It will rise |
3. | It will fall |
4. | First it will first rise and then fall |
