A cubical block of ice floating in water has to support a metal piece weighing 0.5 kg. Water can be the minimum edge of the block so that it does not sink in water? Specific gravity of ice = 0.9.

उत्तर
Given:
Specific gravity of ice, ρice = 0.9 gm/cc
Weight of the metal piece, m = 500 g
Density of water, \[\rho_w\] = 103 kg/m3
Let x be the minimum edge of the ice block in cm.
We have:
mg + Wice = U
Here,
U = Upward thrust
Wice = Weight of the ice
\[\text{Thus, we have: }\]
\[0 . 5 \times \text{ g + x}^3 \times \rho_{\text{ ice }} \times \text{ g = x} ^3 \times \rho_w \times g \left[ \text{ Volume of the liquid displaced = x}^3 \right]\]
\[ \Rightarrow 0 . 5 \times {10}^3 + x^3 \times (0 . 9) = x^3 \times 1\]
\[ \Rightarrow x^3 \times (0 . 1) = (0 . 5) \times {10}^3 \]
\[ \Rightarrow x^3 = 5 \times {10}^3 \]
\[ \Rightarrow x = 17 . 09 \text{ cm}\]
\[ \Rightarrow x = 17 \text{ cm }\]

Explain why Surface tension of a liquid is independent of the area of the surface
Mercury has an angle of contact equal to 140° with soda lime glass. A narrow tube of radius 1.00 mm made of this glass is dipped in a trough containing mercury. By what amount does the mercury dip down in the tube relative to the liquid surface outside? Surface tension of mercury at the temperature of the experiment is 0.465 N m–1. Density of mercury = 13.6 × 103 kg m–3
Two narrow bores of diameters 3.0 mm and 6.0 mm are joined together to form a U-tube open at both ends. If the U-tube contains water, what is the difference in its levels in the two limbs of the tube? Surface tension of water at the temperature of the experiment is 7.3 × 10–2 N m–1. Take the angle of contact to be zero and density of water to be 1.0 × 103 kg m–3 (g = 9.8 m s–2)
