A small solid ball is dropped from a height above the free surface of a liquid. It strikes the surface of the liquid at $t = 0$. The density of the material of the ball is $500\  kg/m^3$ and that of liquid is $1000\  kg/m^3$ If the ball comes momeritariiy at rest at $t = 2\  sec$ then initial height of the ball from surface of liquid was ..... $m$ (neglect viscosity)

A pan balance has a container of water with an overflow spout on the right-hand pan as shown. It is full of water right up to the overflow spout. A container on the left-hand pan is positioned to catch any water that overflows. The entire apparatus is adjusted so that it’s balanced. A brass weight on the end of a string is then lowered into the water, but not allowed to rest on the bottom of the container. What happens next ?
