When a body of density rho and volume V is floating in a liquid of density sigma

Statement I : A body floats in a liquid with a fraction n of its volume above the surface of the liquid. If the system is taken to a planet where the acceleration due to gravity is greater than that on earth, the fraction n will decrease. Statement II : For flotation, the weight of the body is equal to the weight of the liquid displaced.

A cylindrical block floats vertically in a liquid of density rho_(1) kept in a container such that the fraction of volume of the cylinder inside the liquid is x_(1) . Then some amount of another immiscible liquid of density rho_(2) (rho_(2) lt rho_(1)) is added to the liquid in the container so that the cylinder now floats just fully immersed in the liquids with x_(2) fraction of volume of the cylinder inside the liquid of density rho_(1) . The ratio rho_(1)//rho_(2) will be

The apparent weight of a body in a liquid of density d_(1) is m_(1) and, in another liquid of density d_(2) , its apparent weight is m_(2) . What will be its apparent weight in a liquid of density d_(3) ?

A solid spherical ball having density d and volume v floats on the interface of two immicible liquids. The density of the upper liquid is d_1 and that of d_2 for lower one. What fraction of the volume of the ball will be in upper and lower liquids, if d_1 < d < d_2 .

A body of mass 300 g is floating in saline water with half of the body outside. What are the volume and density of the material of that body? [Density of saline water = 1.03g*cm^(-3) ]

Two non-mixing liquids of densities rho and nrho(ngt1) are put in a container. The height of each liquid is h. A solid cylinder of length L and density d is put in this container. The cylinder floats with its axis vertical and length pL(plt1) in the denser liquid. The density d is equal to
