Paragraph :
A wooden cylinder of diameter \(4 r\), height \(H\) and density \(\rho / 3\) is kept on a hole of diameter \(2 r\) of a tank, filled with liquid of density \(\rho\) as shown in the figure.

Question :
If height \(h_2\) of water level is further decreased, then
- A cylinder will not move up and remains at its original position
- B for \(h_2=h / 3\), cylinder again starts moving up
- C for \(h_2=h / 4\), cylinder again starts moving up
- D for \(h_2=h / 5\) cylinder again starts moving up
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) cylinder will not move up and remains at its original position
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
For \(h_2 < \frac{4 h}{9}\), buoyant force will further decrease. Hence, the cylinder remains at its original position.

In the figure a container is shown to have a movable (without friction) piston on top. The container and the piston are all made of perfectly insulating material allowing no heat transfer between outside and inside the container. The container is divided into two compartments by a rigid partition made of a thermally conducting material that allows slow transfer of heat. The lower compartment of the container is filled with \(2\) moles of an ideal monatomic gas at \(700 K\) and the upper compartment is filled with \(2\) moles of an ideal diatomic gas at \(400 K\). The heat capacities per mole of an ideal monatomic gas are \(C_{V}=\frac{3}{2} R, C_{P}=\frac{5}{2} R\), and those for an ideal diatomic gas are \(C_{V}=\frac{5}{2} R, C_{P}=\frac{7}{2} R\).
