उत्तर
Given:
Length of the edge of the metal block, x = 12 cm
Specific gravity of mercury, \[\rho_{Hg}\]= 13.6 gm/cc
It is given that`1/5`th of the cubical block is inside mercury initially.
Let `rho_b` be the density of the block in gm/cc.
\[\therefore (\text{ x } )^3 \times \rho_\text{ b } \times \text{ g } = (\text{ x } )^2 \times \left( \frac{\text{x}}{5} \right) \times \rho_{Hg} \times \text{g}\]
\[ \Rightarrow (12 )^3 \times \rho_\text{b} \times \text{g} = (12 )^2 \times \frac{12}{5} \times 13 . 6\]
\[ \Rightarrow \rho_\text{ b } = \frac{13 . 6}{5} \text{ gm/cc }\]
Let y be the height of the water column after the water is poured.
∴ Vb = VHg + Vw = (12)3
Here,
VHg = Volume of the block inside mercury
Vw = Volume of the block inside water
\[\therefore ( \text {V}_\text{b} \times \rho_\text{b} \times \text{g}) = ( \text{V}_{\text{Hg}} \times \rho_{\text{Hg}} \times \text{g}) + ( \text{V}_\text{w} \times \rho_\text{w} \times \text{g})\]
\[ \Rightarrow ( \text{V}_{\text{Hg}} + \text{V}_\text{w} ) \times \frac{13 . 6}{5} = \text{V}_{\text{Hg}} \times 13 . 6 + \text{V}_\text{w} \times 1\]
\[ \Rightarrow (12 )^3 \times \frac{13 . 6}{5} = (12 - \text{y}) \times (12 )^2 \times 13 . 6 + (\text{y}) \times (12 )^2 \times 1\]
\[ \Rightarrow 12 \times \frac{13 . 6}{5} = (12 -\text{ y}) \times 13 . 6 + (\text{y})\]
\[ \Rightarrow 12 . 6\text{y }= 13 . 6\left( 12 - \frac{12}{5} \right) = (13 . 6) \times (9 . 6)\]
\[ \Rightarrow \text{y} = \frac{(9 . 6) \times (13 . 6)}{(12 . 6)} = 10 . 4 \text{cm}\]
