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

  • A
    $\frac{h}{\rho - \rho'}$
  • B
    $\frac{h \rho'}{\rho}$
  • C
    $\frac{h \rho'}{\rho - \rho'}$
  • D
    $\frac{h \rho}{\rho - \rho'}$

$A$ spring balance $A$ reads $2 \,kg$ with a block of mass $m$ suspended from it. Another balance $B$ reads $3 \,kg$ when a beaker with a liquid is put on its pan. The two balances are now so arranged that the hanging mass $m$ is fully immersed inside the liquid in the beaker as shown in the figure. In this situation,

$A$ 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 $0.4 \ \text{g/cm}^3$)
