One end of a long iron chain of linear ...

One end of a long iron chain of linear mass density `lambda` is fixed to a sphere of mass m and specific density 1/3 while the other end is free. The sphere along with the chain is immersed in a deep lake. If specific density of iron is 7 , the height h above the bed of the lake at which the sphere will float in equilibrium is (assume that the part of the chain lying on the bottom of the lake exerts negligible force on the upper part of the the chain)

One end of an iron chain is fixed to a sphere of mass M = 10 kg and of diameter D = 0.3 m (the volume of such a sphere is V = 0.0141 m^(3) ), while the other end is free. The length 1 of the chain is 3 m and its mass m is 9 kg. The sphere with the chain is in a reservoir whose depth H = 3m . Determine the depth at which the sphere will float, assuming that iron is 7.85 times heavier than water.

A chain of length l and mass m lies on the surface of a smooth sphere of radius R>l with one end tied to the top of the sphere.

Statement-1: Upthurst on a solid block of iron when immersed in a lake will be less on the surface than on the bed of the lake. Statement-2: On the surface of the lake density of water will be less than that at the bed and upthrust depends on the density of liquid.
