Q11.A cubical block of side 0.5 m floats on water with 30% of its volume under water. What is the maximum weight that can be put on the block without fully submerging it under water? [Take, density of water = 103 kg / m3 ] JEE Main 2019 (10 Apr Shift 2) JEE Main Previous Year Paper (1) 87.5 kg (2) 65.4 kg (3) 30.1 kg (4) 46.3 kg

What This Question Tests

This problem applies Archimedes' principle to a floating block, first to find its mass, and then to calculate the additional weight it can support before becoming fully submerged.

9.3 A tank is filled with water to a height of 12.5 cm. The apparent depth of a needle lying at the bottom of the tank is measured by a microscope to be 9.4 cm. What is the refractive index of water? If water is replaced by a liquid of refractive index 1.63 up to the same height, by what distance would the microscope have to be moved to focus on the needle again?
