What causes buoyant force (or upthrust) on a boat ?
Relative density of a substance is expressed in g cm-3.
What happens to the buoyant force as more and more volume of a solid object is immersed in a liquid ? When does the buoyant force become maximum ?
The S.I. unit of density is ..........
When a boat is partially immersed in water, it displaces 600 kg of water. How much is the buoyant force acting on the boat in newtons ? (g = 10 m s-2)
What is the unit of relative density?
The density of water is 1.0 g Cm-3. The density of iron is 7.8 × 10″3 g Cm-3. The density of mercury is 13.6 g Cm-3.
Ans the following:
Will a piece of iron float or sink in water?
State three factors on which the pressure at a point in a liquid depends.
The diagram below in Fig. 4.12 shows a device which makes the use of the principle of transmission of pressure.

- Name the parts labelled by the letters X and Y.
- Describe what happens to valves A and B and to the quantity of water in the two cylinders when the lever arm is moved down.
- Give reasons for what happens to valves A and B in part (ii).
- What happens when the release valve is opened?
- What happens to valve B in cylinder P when the lever arm is moved up?
- Give a reason for your answer in part (v).
- State one use of the above device.
Two cylindrical vessels fitted with pistons A and B of area of cross-section 8 cm2 and 320 cm2 respectively are joined at their bottom by a tube and they are completely filled with water. When a mass of 4 kg is placed on piston A, Find:
- the pressure on piston A,
- the pressure on piston B, and
- the thrust on piston B.
