Question

Floating cylinder A solid cylinder of uniform density of 0.85 g/cm3 floats in a glass of water tinted light blue by food coloring.

Increase Decrease No change  The cylinder is replaced with one that has the same density and diameter, but with half the height.
Increase Decrease No change  A liquid with a density of 0.76 g/cm3 is poured into the glass.
Increase Decrease No change  The cylinder is replaced with one that has the same height and diameter, but with density of 0.89 g/cm3.
Increase Decrease No change  Some of the water is removed from the glass.
Increase Decrease No change  A liquid with a density of 1.06 g/cm3 is poured into the glass.
Increase Decrease No change  The cylinder is replaced with one that has the same density and height, but 1.5× the diameter.

Explanation / Answer

X will decrease if the height is changed.

X will become zero if the liquid density is decreased below cylinder's

X will deccrease by increasing cylinder density

X will not change if water is taken out

X will increase if denser liquid is mixed.

X will decrease as the weight of the cylinder will increase
