It will fall
B
It will remain unchanged
C
It will rise
D

Since density of a hollow ice cube is less than water. Hence it will float and when ice melts, then level of water decreases due to loss in volume.

A spherical solid ball of volume $V$ is made of a material of density $\rho_1$ . It is falling through a liquid of density $\rho_2 (\rho_2 < \rho_1 )$. Assume that the liquid applies a viscous force on the ball that is proportional to the square of its speed $v$, i.e., $F_{viscous}= -kv^2 (k >0 )$,The terminal speed of the ball is
Water is flowing on a horizontal fixed surface, such that its flow velocity varies with $y$ (vertical direction) as $v=k\left(\frac{2 y^2}{a^2}-\frac{y^3}{a^3}\right)$. If coefficient of viscosity for water is $\eta$, what will be shear stress between layers of water at $y=a$.
The three water filled tanks shown have the same volume and height. If small identical holes are punched near this bottom, which one will be the first to get empty.
The spring balance $A$ reads $2$ $kg$ with a block $m $ suspended from it. $A$ balance $B$ reads $5$ $kg$ when a beaker with liquid is put on the pan of the balance. The two balances are now so arranged that the hanging mass is inside the liquid in the beaker as shown in the figure in this situation:
A pump draws water from a tank which is at $2.5\; m$ down from outlet and issues it from the end of a hose which the water is drawn. The cross sectional area is $10\; cm ^{2}$, and the water leaves the end of the hose at a speed of $5\; m / s$. What is the rate at which the pump is working ?
A tank $5 \,m$ high is half filled with water and then is filled to the top with oil of density $0.85 \,g/cm^3$. The pressure at the bottom of the tank, due to these liquids is ........ $g/cm^2$
A cubical block of wood of specific gravity $0.5$ and a chunk of concrete of specific gravity $2.5$ are fastened together. The ratio of the mass of wood to the mass of concrete which makes the combination to float with its entire volume submerged under water is
