Paragraph: A wooden cylinder of diameter 4 r , height H and density / 3 is kept on a hole of diameter 2 r of a tank, filled with liquid of density as shown in the figure. Question: If height h₂ of water level is further decreased, then
Options
- Acylinder will not move up and remains at its original position
- Bfor h₂=h / 3 , cylinder again starts moving up
- Cfor h₂=h / 4 , cylinder again starts moving up
- Dfor h₂=h / 5 cylinder again starts moving up
Correct answer
A. cylinder will not move up and remains at its original position
Step-by-step solution
For h₂ < 4 h 9 , buoyant force will further decrease. Hence, the cylinder remains at its original position.
