List of top Physics Questions on Buoyancy and Floatation

A piece of granite floats at the interface of mercury and water. If the densities of granite, water and mercury are \( \rho, \rho_1, \rho_2 \) respectively, the ratio of volume of granite in water to that in mercury is 

A small metal sphere of density $\rho$ is dropped from height $h$ into a jar containing liquid of density $\sigma (\sigma > \rho)$. The maximum depth up to which the sphere sinks is (Neglect damping forces)

A piece of granite floats at the interface of mercury and water contained in a beaker as shown in the figure. If the densities of granite, water, and mercury are \( \rho \), \( \rho_1 \), and \( \rho_2 \) respectively, the ratio of the volume of granite in water to the volume of granite in mercury is:

A wooden block of mass 6 kg is pulled across a rough surface by a 54 N force against a friction force \( F \). The acceleration of the block is \( 6 \, \text{m/s}^2 \). Then the value of friction force \( F \) is:
A body weighs 75 gm in air, 51 gm when completely immersed in an unknown liquid and 67 gm when completely immersed in water. Find the density of the unknown liquid:
