An ice cube contains a large air bubble. The cube is floating on the horizontal surface of water contained in a trough. What will happen to the water level when the cube melts?

$A$ 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 $gF$)

Why is it easier to swim in sea water than in river water?

$A$ container of large surface area is filled with a liquid of density $\rho$. $A$ cubical block of side edge $a$ and mass $M$ is floating in it with four-fifths of its volume submerged. If a coin of mass $m$ is placed gently on the top surface of the block,it is just submerged. $M$ is:

$A$ uniform rod of density $\rho$ is placed in a wide tank containing a liquid of density $\rho_0$ $(\rho_0 > \rho)$. The depth of the liquid in the tank is half the length of the rod. The rod is in equilibrium,with its lower end resting on the bottom of the tank. In this position,the rod makes an angle $\theta$ with the horizontal.

Equal masses of three liquids are kept in three identical cylindrical vessels $A$, $B$ and $C$. The densities are $\rho_A$, $\rho_B$ and $\rho_C$ with $\rho_A$ < $\rho_B$ < $\rho_C$. The force on the base will be maximum in vessel:
