The reading of spring balance when a block is suspended from it in air, is $60\,N$. This reading is changed to $40\, N$ when the block is immersed in water. The specific density of the block is
$3$
$\frac{2}{3}$
$6$
$\frac{3}{2}$
A block of ice floats on a liquid of density $1.2$ in a beaker then level of liquid when ice completely melt
A hollow spherical shell at outer radius $R$ floats just submerged under the water surface. The inner radius of the shell is $r$. If the specific gravity of the shell material is $\frac{27}{8}$ $w.r.t.$ water, the value of $r$ is$......R$
A beaker containing water is placed on the platform of a spring balance. The balance reads $1.5$ $kg$. A stone of mass $0.5$ $kg$ and density $500$ $kg/m^3$ is immersed in water without touching the walls of beaker. What will be the balance reading now ? ..... $kg$
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
A wooden block floating in a bucket of water has $\frac{4}{5}$ of its volume submerged. When certain amount of an oil is poured into the bucket, it is found that the block is just under the oil surface with half of its volume under water and half in oil. The density of oil relative to that of water is
