$A$ body of density $\rho$ is dropped from rest at a height $h$ into a lake of density $\delta$ $(\delta > \rho)$. Neglecting all dissipative forces,find the maximum depth to which the body sinks before returning to float on the surface.

  • A
    $\frac{(\delta - \rho)}{2 h \rho}$
  • B
    $\frac{2 h \rho}{(\delta - \rho)}$
  • C
    $\frac{h \rho}{2(\delta - \rho)}$
  • D
    $\frac{h \rho}{(\delta - \rho)}$

$A$ cylindrical block floats vertically in a liquid of density $\rho_{1}$ kept in a container such that the fraction of volume of the cylinder inside the liquid is $x_{1}$. Then some amount of another immiscible liquid of density $\rho_{2} (\rho_{2} < \rho_{1})$ is added to the liquid in the container so that the cylinder now floats just fully immersed in the liquids with $x_{2}$ being the fraction of volume of the cylinder inside the liquid of density $\rho_{1}$. The ratio $\rho_{1} / \rho_{2}$ will be
