$A$ metallic sphere weighing $3 \,kg$ in air is held by a string so as to be completely immersed in a liquid of relative density $0.8$. The relative density of the metal is $10$. The tension in the string is ........ $N$.

$A$ block of ice floats on a liquid of density $1.2 \ g/cm^3$ in a beaker. What happens to the level of the liquid when the ice completely melts?

To determine the composition of a bimetallic alloy, a sample is first weighed in air and then in water. These weights are found to be $w_1$ and $w_2$ respectively. If the densities of the two constituent metals are $\rho_1$ and $\rho_2$ respectively, then the weight of the first metal in the sample is (where $\rho_w$ is the density of water):

$A$ hollow cone floats with its axis vertical up to one-third of its height in a liquid of relative density $0.8$ and with its vertex submerged. When another liquid of relative density $\rho$ is filled in it up to one-third of its height,the cone floats up to half its vertical height. The height of the cone is $0.10 \ m$ and the radius of the circular base is $0.05 \ m$. The specific gravity $\rho$ is given by

$A$ wooden block floats in a liquid with $40\%$ of its volume inside the liquid. When the vessel containing the liquid starts rising upwards with an acceleration $a = g/2$, the percentage of volume inside the liquid is ......... $\%$

The reading of a spring balance when a block is suspended from it in air is $60 \, N$. This reading is changed to $40 \, N$ when the block is submerged in water. The specific gravity of the block must be therefore ............
