A solid cube is floating (completely submerged) in a container filled with some liquid. The system is heated slowly. Ramesh states that cube will slowly sink. Suresh immediately responds that on the contary it will rise. Choose CORRECT statement(s)

A

Ramesh is right

B

Suresh is right

C

Without the knowledge of the thermal expansion coefficient of the cube and fluid, the question can not be decided clearly

D

One of them may be correct

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C, D
If the cube has a coefficient of thermal expension greater than liquid then buoyancy force will dominate

Figure shows a container filled with a liquid of density rho . Four points A, B, C and D lie on the vertices of a vertical square. Points A and C lie on a vertical line and points B and D lies on a horizontal line. Choose the correct statement(s) about the pressure at the four points.

An ideal monoatomic gas is confined in a horizontal cylinder by a spring loaded piston (as shown in the figure). Initially the gas is at temperature T_1 , pressure P_1 and volume V_1 and the spring is in its relaxed state. The gas is then heated very slowly to temperature T_2 ,pressure P_2 and volume V_2 . During this process the piston moves out by a distance x. Ignoring the friction between the piston and the cylinder, the correct statement (s) is (are)
