1.	A cubical block of wood of edge 3 cm floats in water. The lower surface of the cube just touches the free end of a vertical spring fixed at the bottom of the pot. Find the maximum weight that can be put on the block without wetting it. Density of wood =`800 kgm^-3` and spring constant of the spring `=50Nm^-1 Take g=10ms^-2`. ,
Answer» Correct Answer - C::D Fraction of volume immersed before putting the new weigh `=(rho_(block))/(rho_(water))=(800)/(1000)=0.8` i.e. `20%` of` 3 cm` or `0.6 cm` is above water. Let w is the new weight, then spring will be compressed by `0.6 cm` `:. w+`weight of block=Upthrust on whole volume of block `+` spring force or, `w=(3xx10^(-2))^(3)xx1000xx10+50xx` `(0.6xx10^(-2))=(3xx10^(-2))^(3)xx800xx10` `:. w=0.354 N`.

Figure shows a cubical block of side 10 cm and relative density 1.5 suspended by a wire of cross sectional area `10^(-6) m^(2)`. The breaking stress of the wire is `7 xx 10^(6) N//m^(2)`. The block is placed in a beaker of base area `200 cm^(2)` and initially i.e. at t = 0, the top surface of water & the block coincide. There is a pump at the bottom corner which ejects `2 cm^(3)` of water per sec. Find the time at which the wire will break.
