A solid sphere of volume V and density ρ floats at the interface of two immiscible liquids of densities ρ${}_1$ and ρ${}_2$ respectively. If ρ${}_1$ < ρ < ρ${}_2$, then the ratio of the volume of the parts of the sphere in upper and lower liquids is :
1. $\frac{{\mathrm{\rho }}_2-\mathrm{\rho }}{\mathrm{\rho }-{\mathrm{\rho }}_1}$

4. $\frac{\sqrt{{\mathrm{\rho }}_1 {\mathrm{\rho }}_2}}{\mathrm{\rho }}$

A wooden block, with a coin placed on its top, floats in water as shown in the figure. The distances h and l are shown there. After some time, the coin falls into the water, then :

2. Both l and h decrease
3. l decreases and h increases
4. l increases and h decreases

A small spherical ball falling through a viscous medium of negligible density has terminal velocity v. Another ball of the same mass but of radius twice that of the earlier one falling through the same viscous medium will have a terminal velocity :
