$A$ sphere of relative density $\sigma$ and diameter $D$ has a concentric cavity of diameter $d$. The ratio of $\frac{D}{d}$,if it just floats on water in a tank,is:

  • A
    $\left(\frac{\sigma}{\sigma-1}\right)^{\frac{1}{3}}$
  • B
    $\left(\frac{\sigma+1}{\sigma-1}\right)^{\frac{1}{3}}$
  • C
    $\left(\frac{\sigma-1}{\sigma}\right)^{\frac{1}{3}}$
  • D
    $\left(\frac{\sigma-2}{\sigma+2}\right)^{\frac{1}{3}}$

$A$ uniform solid cylinder of density $0.8 \ g/cm^3$ floats in equilibrium in a combination of two non-mixing liquids $A$ and $B$ with its axis vertical. The densities of liquids $A$ and $B$ are $0.7 \ g/cm^3$ and $1.2 \ g/cm^3$,respectively. The height of liquid $A$ is $h_A = 1.2 \ cm$ and the length of the part of the cylinder immersed in liquid $B$ is $h_B = 0.8 \ cm$. Then the length of the part of the cylinder in air is ....... $cm$.
