A stone is projected vertically up from the bottom of a water tank. Assuming no water resistance it will go up and come down in same time but if water drag is present then the time it takes to go up, $t_{up}$ and the time it takes to come down, $t_{down}$ are related as

A stream-lined body falls through air from a height $h$ on the surface of liquid. Let $d$ and $D$ denote the densities of the materials of the body and the liquid respectively. If  $D > d$, then the time after which the body will be instantaneously at rest, is

Diagram shows a jar filled with two non mixing liquids $1$ and $2$ having densities ${\rho _1}$ and  ${\rho _2}$  respectively. A solid ball, made of a material of density  ${\rho _3}$ , is dropped in the jar. It comes to equilibrium in the position shown in the figure. Which of the following is true for ${\rho _1}$ ,  ${\rho _2}$ and ${\rho _3}$  ?

A homogeneous solid cylinder of length $L$$(L < H/2)$. Cross-sectional area $A/5$ is immersed such that it floats with its axis vertical at the liquid-liquid interface with length $L/4$ in the denser liquid as shown in the fig. The lower density liquid is open to atmosphere having pressure ${P_0}$. Then density $D$  of solid is given by
