$A$ uniform rod is suspended horizontally from its mid-point. $A$ piece of metal whose weight is $w$ is suspended at a distance $l$ from the mid-point. Another weight $w_{1}$ is suspended on the other side at a distance $l_{1}$ from the mid-point to bring the rod to a horizontal position. When $w$ is completely immersed in water, $w_{1}$ needs to be kept at a distance $l_{2}$ from the mid-point to get the rod back into a horizontal position. The specific gravity of the metal piece 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.
