Two non-mixing liquids of densities $\rho$ and $n\rho$ $(n > 1)$ are put in a container. The height of each liquid is $h$. $A$ solid cylinder of length $L$ and density $d$ is placed in this container. The cylinder floats with its axis vertical and a length $pL$ $(p < 1)$ submerged in the denser liquid. The density $d$ is equal to:

  • A
    $[2+(n+1)p]\rho$
  • B
    $[2+(n-1)p]\rho$
  • C
    $[1+(n-1)p]\rho$
  • D
    $[1+(n+1)p]\rho$

$A$ 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: $1 \, \mu m = 10^{-6} \, m$)

$A$ homogeneous solid cylinder of length $L$ $(L < H/2)$, cross-sectional area $A$ is immersed such that it floats with its axis vertical at the liquid-liquid interface with length $L/4$ in the denser liquid (density $2d$) and $3L/4$ in the lighter liquid (density $d$). The lower density liquid is open to the atmosphere having pressure $P_0$. Then, the density $D$ of the solid is given by:
