As shown in the figure,a container is filled with a liquid of density $2d$ up to a height of $H/2$ and a liquid of density $d$ above it up to a height of $H/2$. $A$ solid cylinder of cross-sectional area $A/5$ and length $L$ $(L < H/2)$ is placed vertically in this container. The cylinder floats vertically such that its lower end is at a distance of $L/4$ from the interface of the two liquids. Find the density $D$ of the cylinder. (The atmospheric pressure at the surface of the upper liquid is $P_0$.)

  • A
    $5/4 d$
  • B
    $4/5 d$
  • C
    $Ad$
  • D
    $d/5$

$A$ cube having a side of $10 \ cm$ with unknown mass $m$ and a $200 \ g$ mass were hung at two ends of a uniform rigid rod of $27 \ cm$ length. The rod along with the masses was placed on a wedge,keeping the distance between the wedge point and the $200 \ g$ weight as $25 \ cm$. Initially,the masses were not in balance. $A$ beaker is placed beneath the unknown mass and water is added slowly to it. At a given point,the masses were in balance and half the volume of the unknown mass was submerged in the water. (Take the density of the unknown mass to be greater than that of water,the mass did not absorb water,and the water density is $1 \ g/cm^3$). The unknown mass $m$ is . . . . . . $kg$.
