$A$ cubical block of steel of each side equal to $l$ is floating on mercury in a vessel. The densities of steel and mercury are $\rho_s$ and $\rho_m$. The height of the block above the mercury level is given by:

  • A
    $l(1 + \frac{\rho_s}{\rho_m})$
  • B
    $l(1 - \frac{\rho_s}{\rho_m})$
  • C
    $l(1 + \frac{\rho_m}{\rho_s})$
  • D
    $l(1 - \frac{\rho_m}{\rho_s})$
