A wooden block, with a coin placed on its top, floats in water as shown in fig. the distance $l $ and $h$ are shown there. After some time the coin falls into the water. Then
A$l$ decreases and $h$ increases
B$l$ increases and $h $ decreases
CBoth $ l$ and $ h$ increase
DBoth $l$ and $h$ decrease

DBoth $l$ and $h$ decrease
d (d)As the block moves up with the fall of coin, $l $ decreases, similarly $ h $ will also decrease because when the coin is in water, it displaces water equal to its own volume only.

An object suspended by a wire stretches it by $10 \,mm$. When object is immersed in a liquid the elongation in wire reduces by $\frac{10}{3} \,mm$. The ratio of relative densities of the object and liquid is ............
A solid sphere of density $\eta$ $( > 1)$ times lighter than water is suspended in a water tank by a string tied to its base as shown in fig. If the mass of the sphere is m then the tension in the string is given by
$9\ kg$ of mercury is poured into a glass $U-tube$ with inner diameter of $1.2 \ cm$. The mercury can flow without friction within the tube. the oscillation period ......... $\sec$. Density of mercury = $13.6 × 10^3\ kg/m^3$.
Two vessels $A$ and $B$ have the same base area and contain water to the same height, but the mass of water in $A$ is four times that in $B$. The ratio of the liquid thrust at the base of $A$ to that at the base of $B$ is
The pressure acting on a submarine is $3 \times 10^{5}\;Pa$ at a certain depth. If the depth is doubled, the percentage increase in the pressure acting on the submarine would be: (Assume that atmospheric pressure is $1 \times 10^{5} \;Pa$ density of water is $10^{3}\, kg \,m ^{-3}, g =10 \,ms ^{-2}$ )
Two liquids of densities $\rho_{1}$ and $\rho_{2}\left(\rho_{2}=2 \rho_{1}\right)$ are filled up behind a square wall of side $10\; \mathrm{m}$ as shown in figure. Each liquid has a height of $5 \;\mathrm{m} .$ The ratio of the forces due to these liquids exerted on upper part $MN$ to that at the lower pait $NO$ is (Assume that the liquids are not mixing)
A wind with speed $40\,\, m/s$ blows parallel to the roof of a house. The area of the roof is $250\, m^2.$ Assuming that the pressure inside the house is atmospheric pressure, the force exerted by the wind on the roof and the direction of the force will be $(\rho _{air} = 1.2 \,\,kg/m^3)$
The platelets are drifting with the blood flowing in a streamline flow through a horizontal artery as shown below Artery is contracted in region $II$. Choose the correct statement.
