$A$ spring balance reads $200 \,gF$ when carrying a lump of lead in air. If the lead is now immersed with half of its volume in brine solution,what will be the new reading of the spring balance? The specific gravity of lead and brine are $11.4$ and $1.1$ respectively. (Result in $gF$)

$A$ wooden cube of side $10 \ cm$ floats at the interface between water and oil with its lower surface $3 \ cm$ below the interface. If the density of oil is $0.9 \ g \ cm^{-3}$, the mass of the wooden cube is (in $g$)

$A$ large ship can float but a steel needle sinks because of

$A$ solid sphere of density $\rho_s$ which is $\eta$ times lighter than water (density $\rho_w$) is suspended in a water tank by a string tied to its base as shown in the figure. If the mass of the sphere is $m$,then the tension in the string is given by:

$A$ hemispherical portion of radius $R$ is removed from the bottom of a cylinder of radius $R$. The volume of the remaining cylinder is $V$ and its mass is $M$. It is suspended by a string in a liquid of density $\rho$ where it stays vertical. The upper surface of the cylinder is at a depth $h$ below the liquid surface. The force on the bottom of the liquid is

$A$ hollow sphere of mass $M$ and radius $R$ is immersed in a tank of water (density $\rho_w$). The sphere would float if it were set free. The sphere is tied to the bottom of the tank by two wires which make an angle of $45^{\circ}$ with the horizontal as shown in the figure. The tension $T_1$ in each wire is:
