When two corks, one small and one big are taken into a vessel filled with water and released which cork will come fast on the surface of water ? Why ?
When two corks, one small and one big are taken into a vessel filled with water and released which cork will come fast on the surface of water ? Why ?
Bigger cork, because as the weight of it is higher the mass of displaced water due to it, so the
buoyant force also increases on it. Hence, its speed is faster.

The vessel shown in the figure has two sections. The lower part is a rectangular vessel with area of cross-section $A$ and height $h$. The upper part is a conical vessel of height $h$ with base area $‘A’$ and top area $‘a’$ and the walls of the vessel are inclined at an angle $30^o$ with the vertical.A liquid of density $\rho$ fills both the sections upto a height $2h$. Neglecting atmospheric pressure.

The spring balance $A$ reads $2\, kg$ with a block m suspended from it. $A $ balance $B$ reads $5 \,kg $ when a beaker filled with liquid is put on the pan of the balance. The two balances are now so arranged that the hanging mass is inside the liquid as shown in figure. In this situation
