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

  1. A cylinder will not move up and remains at its original position
  2. B for \(h_2=h / 3\), cylinder again starts moving up
  3. C for \(h_2=h / 4\), cylinder again starts moving up
  4. D for \(h_2=h / 5\) cylinder again starts moving up
Verified Solution

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.
