A block of volume $V$ and of density $\sigma _b$ is placed in liquid of density $\sigma _l(\sigma _l > \sigma _b)$ , then block is moved upward upto a height $h$ and it is still in liquid. The increase in gravitational potential energy of the system is

  • A

    ${\sigma _b}Vgh$

  • B

    $\left( {{\sigma _b} + {\sigma _l}} \right)Vgh$

  • C

    $\left( {{\sigma _b} - {\sigma _l}} \right)Vgh$

  • D

    none of these

What is buoyant force ?

The weight of an empty balloon on a spring balance is $w_1$. The weight becomes $w_2$ when the balloon is filled with air. Let the weight of the air itself be $w$ .Neglect the thickness of the balloon when it is filled with air. Also neglect the difference in the densities of air inside $\&$ outside the balloon. Then :

A wide bottom cylindrical massless plastic container of height $9 \,cm$ has $40$ identical coins inside it and is floating on water with $3 \,cm$ inside the water. If we start putting more of such coins on its lid, it is observed that after $N$ coins are put, its equilibrium changes from stable to unstable. Equilibrium in floating is stable if the geometric centre of the submerged portion is above the centre of the mass of the object). The value of $N$ is closed to
