A cubical block is floating in a liquid with half of its volume immersed in the liquid. When the whole system accelerates upwards with acceleration of $g/3,$ the fraction of volume immersed in the liquid will be
A$0.5$
B$\frac{3}{8}$
C$\frac{2}{3}$
D$0.75$

A$0.5$
a (a)Fraction of volume immersed in the liquid ${V_{in}} = \left( {\frac{\rho }{\sigma }} \right)V$ i.e. it depends upon the densities of the block and liquid.
So there will be no change in it if system moves upward or downward with constant velocity or some acceleration.

A solid sphere of radius $r$ is floating at the interface of two immiscible liquids of densities $\rho_1$ and $\rho_2\,\, (\rho_2 > \rho_1),$ half of its volume lying in each. The height of the upper liquid column from the interface of the two liquids is $h.$ The force exerted on the sphere by the upper liquid is $($ atmospheric pressure $= p_0\,\,\&$ acceleration due to gravity is $g) $
Two liquids of densities $d_1$ and $d_2$ are flowing in identical capillary tubes uder the same pressure difference. Ift $t_1$ and $t_2$ are time taken for the flow of equal quantities (mass) of liquids, then the ratio of coefficient of viscosity of liquids must be
A plane is in level flight at constant speed and each of its two wings has an area of $40 \mathrm{~m}^2$. If the speed of the air is $180 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{h}$ over the lower wing surface and $252 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{h}$ over the upper wing surface, the mass of the plane is______ $\mathrm{kg}$. (Take air density to be $1 \mathrm{~kg} \mathrm{~m}^{-3}$ and $\mathrm{g}=10 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}$ )
A tank is filled up to a height $2H$ with a liquid and is placedon a platform of height $H$ from the ground. The distance $x$ from the ground where a small hole is punched to get the maximum range $R$ is:
The approximate depth of an ocean is $2700\,\, m.$ The compressibility of water is $45.4 \times 10^{-11} Pa^{-1}$ and density of water is $10^3 \,kg/m^3 $. What fractional compression of water will be obtained at the bottom of the ocean?
$Assertion :$ In a pressure cooker the water is brought to boil. The cooker is then remove from the stove. Now on removing the lid of the pressure cooker, the water starts boiling against.
$Reason :$ The impurities in water bring down its boiling point
Two water pipes $P$ and $Q$ having diameters $2$$ \times 10^{-2} $ $m$ and $4$ $\times 10^{-2}$ $m$, respectively, are joined in series with the main supply line of water. The velocity of water flowing in pipe $P$ is
