$A$ solid cube is floating in a liquid. The coefficient of linear expansion of the cube is $\alpha$ and the coefficient of volume expansion of the liquid is $\gamma$. On increasing the temperature of the (liquid + cube) system,the cube will sink if

  • A
    $\gamma = 3\alpha$
  • B
    $\gamma > 3\alpha$
  • C
    $\gamma < 3\alpha$
  • D
    $\gamma = 2\alpha$

$A$ wooden block floating in a bucket of water has $\frac{4}{5}$ of its volume submerged. When a certain amount of oil is poured into the bucket,it is found that the block is just under the oil surface with half of its volume under water and half in oil. The density of oil relative to that of water is

$A$ machine is blowing spherical soap bubbles of different radii filled with helium gas. It is found that,if the bubbles have a radius smaller than $1 \, cm$,then they sink to the floor in still air. Larger bubbles float in the air. Assume that the thickness of the soap film in all bubbles is uniform and equal. Assume that the density of soap solution is same as that of water $\left(= 1000 \, kg \, m^{-3}\right)$. The density of helium inside the bubbles and air are $0.18 \, kg \, m^{-3}$ and $1.23 \, kg \, m^{-3}$,respectively. Then,the thickness of the soap film of the bubbles is .......... $\mu m$ (Note: $1 \, \mu m = 10^{-6} \, m$)

$A$ sphere of diameter $7 \, cm$ and mass $266.5 \, g$ floats in a bath of a liquid. As the temperature is raised,the sphere just begins to sink at a temperature $35^{\circ} C$. If the density of the liquid at $0^{\circ} C$ is $1.527 \, g/cm^3$,then neglecting the expansion of the sphere,the coefficient of cubical expansion of the liquid is:

$A$ log of wood of mass $120 \ kg$ floats in water. The mass that can be put on the raft to make it just sink should be ....... $kg$ (density of wood = $600 \ kg/m^3$,density of water = $1000 \ kg/m^3$).
