A small plastic boat loaded with nuts and bolts is floating in a bath tub. if the cargo is dumped into the water, allowing the boat to float empty, then the water level in the tub will
The line of action of the buoyant force acts through the
A body is floating as shown in the given figure. The centre of buoyancy, centre of gravity and metacentre are labelled respectively as B, G and M. The body is
A metal cube of size 15 cm x 15 cm x 15 cm and specific gravity 8.6 is submerged in a twolayered liquid, the bottom layer being mercury and the top layer being water. The percentage of the volume of the cube remaining above the interface will be, approximately
The centre of gravity of the volume of liquid displaced is called
When a block of ice floating on,water in a container melts, the level of water in the container
A metal block is thrown into a deep lake. As it sinks deeper in water, the buoyant force acting on it
A rectangular floating body is 20 m long and 5 m wide. The water line is 1.5 m above the bottom. If the centre of gravity is 1.8 m from the bottom, then its metacentric height will be approximately
