  • A
    $l$ decreases and $h$ decreases
  • B
    $l$ increases and $h$ increases
  • C
    $l$ increases and $h$ decreases

$A$ certain block weighs $15 \ N$ in air. It weighs $12 \ N$ when immersed in water. When immersed in another liquid,it weighs $13 \ N$. The relative density of the block is:

$A$ gas in equilibrium has uniform density and pressure throughout its volume. This is strictly true only if there are no external influences. $A$ gas column under gravity,for example,does not have uniform density (and pressure). As you might expect,its density decreases with height. The precise dependence is given by the so-called law of atmospheres:
$n_{2}=n_{1} \exp \left[-m g\left(h_{2}-h_{1}\right) / k_{B} T\right]$
where $n_{2}, n_{1}$ refer to number density at heights $h_{2}$ and $h_{1}$ respectively. Use this relation to derive the equation for sedimentation equilibrium of a suspension in a liquid column:
$n_{2}=n_{1} \exp \left[-m g N_{A}\left(\rho-\rho^{\prime}\right)\left(h_{2}-h_{1}\right) /(\rho R T)\right]$
where $\rho$ is the density of the suspended particle,and $\rho^{\prime}$ that of the surrounding medium. [$N_{A}$ is Avogadro's number,and $R$ the universal gas constant.]
