as a barometric liquid.
(d) Explain with reasons why a fountain pen leaks at high altitudes.
(e) Explain with reasons why an egg sinks in fresh water, but floats in a solution of salt.
(f) A body of volume V and density ρs is completely immersed in a liquid of density ρl.
If acceleration due to gravity is g then, write expressions for the following:
(i) weight of the body. (ii) upthrust on the body
(iii) apparent weight of the body in the liquid (iv) loss in weight of the body.
(g) Solve the following numericals:
(i) The following observations were taken while determining the R.D. of a liquid:
Weight of the solid in air = 0.100 kgf
Weight of the solid in liquid = 0.080 kgf
