A wooden block, with a coin placed on its top, floats in water as shown in figure. The distance l and h are shown here. After some time the coin falls into water. Then A. `l` decreases and `h` increaseB. `l` increases and `h` decreasesC. both `l` and `h` increasesD. both `l` and `h` decrease |

Answer» Correct Answer - D `l` will decrease because the block moves up. `h` will decrease because the coin will displace the volume of water `(V_(1))` equal to its own volume when it is in the water whereas when it is on the block it will displace the volume of water `(V_(2))` whose weight is equal to weight of coin and since density of coin is greater than the density of water `V_(1) lt V_(2)` |
