The tension in a massless cable connected to an iron ball of $100 \,kg$ when it is submerged in sea water is (Given: $\rho_{\text{iron}} = 8 \times 10^3 \,kg/m^3$, $\rho_{\text{sea water}} = 1000 \,kg/m^3$, $g = 10 \,m/s^2$). (in $\,N$)

$A$ cube having a side of $10 \ cm$ with unknown mass $m$ and a $200 \ g$ mass were hung at two ends of a uniform rigid rod of $27 \ cm$ length. The rod along with the masses was placed on a wedge,keeping the distance between the wedge point and the $200 \ g$ weight as $25 \ cm$. Initially,the masses were not in balance. $A$ beaker is placed beneath the unknown mass and water is added slowly to it. At a given point,the masses were in balance and half the volume of the unknown mass was submerged in the water. (Take the density of the unknown mass to be greater than that of water,the mass did not absorb water,and the water density is $1 \ g/cm^3$). The unknown mass $m$ is . . . . . . $kg$.

$A$ cubical block of density $\rho$ is floating on the surface of water. Out of its height $L$,a fraction $x$ is submerged in water. The vessel is in an elevator accelerating upward with acceleration $a$. What is the fraction immersed?

$A$ cube of wood supporting a $200 \, g$ mass just floats in water. When the mass is removed,the cube rises by $2 \, cm$. The side of the cube is ............ $cm$.

$A$ $20 \,g$ 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 $\,cm$)

State the law of floatation and describe its cases.
