D$50$
d Let the fraction $f$ of volume $V$ be submerged under water. We have
weight of cork $=$ weight of water displaced
$\Rightarrow V \times 0.5 \times g=f \times V \times 1 \times g$
$\Rightarrow f=0.5$ or $50 \%$

There is a circular tube in a vertical plane. Two liquids which do not mix and of densities $d_1$ and $d_2$ are filled in the tube. Each liquid subtends $90^o$ angle at centre. Radius joining their interface makes an angle $\alpha$ with vertical. Ratio $\frac{{{d_1}}}{{{d_2}}}$ is
Horizontal tube of non-uniform cross-section has radii of $0.1\,m$ and $0.05\,m$ respectively at $M$ and $N.$ For a stream-line flow of liquid the rate of liquid flow is
An air bubble of volume $1\,cm ^3$ rises from the bottom of a lake $40\,m$ deep to the surface at a temperature of $12^{\circ}\,C$. The atmospheric pressure is $1 \times 10^5 Pa$, the density of water is $1000\,kg / m ^3$ and $g =10\,m / s ^2$. There is no difference of the temperature of water at the depth of $40\,m$ and on the surface. The volume of air bubble when it reaches the surface will be $..........\,cm^{3}$
A siphon in use is demonstrated in the following figure. The density of the liquid flowing in siphon is $ 1.5 gm/cc. $ The pressure difference between the point $P$ and $S$ will be
A wooden cube first floats inside water when a $200\,g$ mass is placed on it. When the mass is removed the cube is $2\,cm$ above water level. The side of cube is ........ $cm$
Two immiscible liquids $A$ and $B$ are kept in an U-tube. If the density of liquid $A$ is smaller than the density of liquid $B$, then the equilibrium situation is
A square gate of size $1\,m \times 1\,m$ is hinged at its mid-point. A fluid of density $\rho$ fills the space to the left of the gate. The force F required to hold the gate stationary is
$A U-$ tube having horizontal arm of length $20$ $cm$, has uniform cross-sectional area $=1\ cm^2$. It is filled with water of volume $60$ $cc$. What volume of a liquid of density $4$ $g/cc$ should be poured from one side into the $U -$ tube so that no water is left in the horizontal arm of the tube ........ $cc$ ?
A candle of diameter $ d$ is floating on a liquid in a cylindrical container of diameter $D $ $(D>>d)$ as shown in figure. If it is burning at the rate of $2$ cm/hour then the top of the candle will
