  • A
    $190.4$
  • B
    $180.4$
  • C
    $210$
  • D
    $170.4$

As shown in the figure,a container is filled with a liquid of density $2d$ up to a height of $H/2$ and a liquid of density $d$ above it up to a height of $H/2$. $A$ solid cylinder of cross-sectional area $A/5$ and length $L$ $(L < H/2)$ is placed vertically in this container. The cylinder floats vertically such that its lower end is at a distance of $L/4$ from the interface of the two liquids. Find the density $D$ of the cylinder. (The atmospheric pressure at the surface of the upper liquid is $P_0$.)

$A$ $20 \,g$ copper block is suspended by a vertical spring causing $1 \,cm$ elongation over the natural length of the spring. If a beaker of water is placed below the block so that the copper block is completely immersed in the liquid, the elongation of the spring is (Density of copper = $9000 \,kg/m^3$, Density of water = $1000 \,kg/m^3$, $g = 10 \,m/s^2$) (in $\,cm$)
