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

  • A
    $\frac{h}{\sigma-\rho}$
  • B
    $\frac{h \rho}{\sigma}$
  • C
    $\frac{h \rho}{\sigma-\rho}$
  • D
    $\frac{h \sigma}{\sigma-\rho}$

$A$ 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

$A$ $0.5\ kg$ mass of lead is submerged in a container filled to the brim with water and a block of wood floats on top. The lead mass is slowly lifted from the container by a thin wire and as it emerges into air the level of the water in the container drops a bit. The lead mass is now placed on the block of wood. As the lead is placed on the wood,what happens to the water level in the container?
