9-1.Fluid Mechanics
medium
A wooden block, with a coin placed on its top, floats in water as shown in fig. the distance $l $ and $h$ are shown there. After some time the coin falls into the water. Then

A
$l$ decreases and $h$ increases
B
$l$ increases and $h $ decreases
C
Both $ l$ and $ h$ increase
D
Both $l$ and $h$ decrease
(IIT-2002) (AIIMS-2014)
Solution
(d)As the block moves up with the fall of coin, $l $ decreases, similarly $ h $ will also decrease because when the coin is in water, it displaces water equal to its own volume only.
