A block of ice in which a piece of stone is embedded is floating on water contained in a beaker. When all the ice melts, the level of water in the beaker
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
falls
Option B (falls) is correct. The water level falls because the stone displaces its weight in water when embedded in ice, but only its volume when submerged after the ice melts. Since stone's density is greater than water, its volume is less than the volume of water of equal weight.

Assertion(A): If angle of contact is , then liquid will neither rise nor fall in a capillary.
Reason(R): When angle of contact is , surface is neither convex nor concave inside the capillary. It is flat.
Reason(R): When angle of contact is , surface is neither convex nor concave inside the capillary. It is flat.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
If both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.
Option B is correct. Both the assertion and the reason are true, but the reason does not fully explain why the liquid neither rises nor falls. The angle of contact determines the shape of the meniscus, which affects the pressure difference and thus the rise or fall.

Three liquids of equal masses are taken in three identical cubical vessels A ,B and C . Their densities are respectively but . below the force extract by the liquid on the base of cubical vessel is
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
the same in all the vessels
Option C (the same in all the vessels) is correct because the force exerted by a liquid on the base of a vessel depends only on the height of the liquid column and the area of the base, and since the masses are equal and the vessels are identical, the height will adjust such that the force is the same.
