A cylinder of height 1m is floating in water at 0^(@)C with 20cm height in air. Now the temperature of water is raised to 4^(@)C, the height of the cylinder in air becomes 21cm. The ratio of density of water at 4^(@)C to that at 0^(@)C is (Consider expansion of the cylinder is negligible)

Solution :As cylinder floats in water, buoyant force BALANCES WEIGHT

`:. MG= A L RHO g`
where L= length of cylinder in water
m,g, A are same
`:. L rho`= constant
`:. L_(4) rho_(4)= L_(0) rho_(0)`
`:. (rho_(4))/(rho_(0)) = (L_(0))/(L_(4)) = ((100-20))/((100-21))`
`:. (rho_(4))/(rho_(0)) = (80)/(79) = 1.01265`
`:. (rho_(4))/(rho_(0))= 1.01`
