Prb 4. Solution : (c) If the rise of level in the right limb be x cm. the fall of level of mercury in left limb be 4x cm
because the area of cross section of right limb 4 times as that of left limb.
Level of water in left limb is (36 + 4x) cm.

Sample Prbs based on Archimedes principle
Prb 14. Solution : (d) As the block moves up with the fall of coin, l decreases, similarly h will also decrease because
when the coin is in water, it displaces water equal to its own volume only.
