$A$ body of density $1.2 \times 10^{3} \text{ kg/m}^3$ is dropped from rest from a height $1 \text{ m}$ into a liquid of density $2.4 \times 10^{3} \text{ kg/m}^3$. Neglecting all dissipative effects, the maximum depth to which the body sinks before returning to float on the surface is: (in $\text{ m}$)

  • A
    $0.1$
  • B
    $1$
  • C
    $0.01$

$A$ leak-proof cylinder of length $1 \; m,$ made of a metal which has a very low coefficient of expansion,is floating vertically in water at $0^{\circ} C$ such that its height above the water surface is $20 \; cm.$ When the temperature of water is increased to $4^{\circ} C,$ the height of the cylinder above the water surface becomes $21 \; cm.$ The density of water at $T=4^{\circ} C,$ relative to the density at $T=0^{\circ} C,$ is close to

$A$ uniform rod is suspended horizontally from its mid-point. $A$ piece of metal whose weight is $w$ is suspended at a distance $l$ from the mid-point. Another weight $w_{1}$ is suspended on the other side at a distance $l_{1}$ from the mid-point to bring the rod to a horizontal position. When $w$ is completely immersed in water,$w_{1}$ needs to be kept at a distance $l_{2}$ from the mid-point to get the rod back into a horizontal position. The specific gravity of the metal piece is

$A$ body of volume $V$ floats on water with $\frac{1}{3}$ of its volume above the surface. The volume of the object above the surface when floating on a liquid of specific gravity $1.5$ is

$A$ non-conducting body floats in a liquid at $20^{\circ} C$ with $\frac{2}{3}$ of its volume immersed in the liquid. When the liquid temperature is increased to $100^{\circ} C$,$\frac{3}{4}$ of the body's volume is immersed in the liquid. Then the coefficient of real expansion of the liquid is (neglecting the expansion of the container of the liquid):
