$A$ body of density $\rho$ is dropped from rest at a height $h$ into a lake of density $\delta$ $(\delta > \rho)$. Neglecting all dissipative forces,find the maximum depth to which the body sinks before returning to float on the surface.

  • A
    $\frac{(\delta - \rho)}{2 h \rho}$
  • B
    $\frac{2 h \rho}{(\delta - \rho)}$
  • C
    $\frac{h \rho}{2(\delta - \rho)}$
  • D
    $\frac{h \rho}{(\delta - \rho)}$

$A$ soft plastic bottle,filled with water of density $1 \text{ g/cc}$,contains an inverted glass test-tube with some air (ideal gas) trapped inside,as shown in the figure. The test-tube has a mass of $5 \text{ g}$,and it is made of thick glass with a density of $2.5 \text{ g/cc}$. Initially,the bottle is sealed at atmospheric pressure $P_0 = 10^5 \text{ Pa}$,such that the volume of the trapped air is $V_0 = 3.3 \text{ cc}$. When the bottle is squeezed from the outside at a constant temperature,the pressure inside increases and the volume of the trapped air decreases. It is observed that the test-tube begins to sink at a pressure $P_0 + \Delta P$ without changing its orientation. At this pressure,the volume of the trapped air is $V_0 - \Delta V$.
Let $\Delta V = X \text{ cc}$ and $\Delta P = Y \times 10^3 \text{ Pa}$.
$(1)$ The value of $X$ is
$(2)$ The value of $Y$ is

$A$ solid cylinder of length $\ell$ and cross-sectional area $A$ is immersed such that it floats with its axis vertical at the liquid-liquid interface with length $\ell / 4$ in the denser liquid as shown in the figure. The lower density liquid has density $\varrho$ and the denser liquid has density $3\varrho$. The density $d$ of the solid cylinder is:
