(b) When a body is just floating in a liquid whose density is equal to the density of body is pushed down slightly then downward force on the body increases due to atmospheric pressure and due to water column above the body. As a result of which the body sinks in the liquid.

    We have two (narrow) capillary tubes $T_1$ and $T_2$. Their lengths are $l_1$ and $l_2$ and radii of cross-section are $r_1$ and $r_2$ respectively. The rate of flow of water under a pressure difference $ P$  through tube $T_1$ is $8cm ^3/sec$. If $l_1 = 2l_2$ and $ r_1 =r_2$, what will be the rate of flow when the two tubes are connected in series and pressure difference across the combination is same as before $ (= P)$
