Assertion : A needle placed carefully placed on the surface of water may float. Reason : When buoyant force balanced with weight of body, the body can float.

An object of weight W has a uniform rectangular cross section of a x2a and density of 0.25g//cm^(3) part of it is immersed in water and the rectangle is tilted by 45^(underset(-)(@)) while one of its corners is just at the water surface find the torque of the buoyancy force to the centre of mass of the object.

Statement-1: A gas filled balloon stops rising after it has attained a certain height in the sky. Statement-2: At the highest point the density of air is such that the buoyant force on the balloon just equals its weight.

Statement - 1 : When hot water is poured in a beaker of thick glass, the beaker cracks. Statement - 2 : Glass is a bad conductor of heat and outer surface of the beaker does not expand.

Statement-1: In gravity free space, the liqid in a capillary tube will rise to infinite height. Statement-2: In the absence of gravity there will be no force to prevent the rise of liquid due to surface tension.

Statement-1: A block is immersed in a liquid inside a beaker which is falling freely buoyant force acting on block is zero. Statement-2: In case of freely falling liquid there is no pressure difference between any two points.

Statement-1:When a planet approches the point which is farthest from the sun, its orbital speed decreases. Statement-2: Work done on the planet by the gravitational force exerted by the sun is negative.
