A cylindrical block of area of cross-section $A$ and of material of density $\rho$ is placed in a liquid of density one-third of density of block. The block compresses a spring and compression in the spring is one-third of the length of the block. If acceleration due to gravity is $g$, the spring constant of the spring is:

60-116

  • A

    $\rho$$ Ag$

  • B

    $2\rho$$Ag$

  • C

    $2\rho $$Ag/3$

  • D

    $\rho $$Ag/3$
