(i) A cubical metal block of side 10cm is floating in a vessel contatining mercury. The vesel has a square cross section of side length 15cm. Water is poured into the vessel so that the metal block just gets submerged. Calculate the mass of water that was poured into the vessel. It is given that relative density of the metal and mercury are 7.3 and 13.6 respectively.
(ii) In the last question, in place of water if we poured another liquid of relative density 'r' it was found that when the metal block ws just completely submerged it was no longer touching mercury. what is value of r?
