(a) Weight of the body = Weight of the displaced liquid.
(b) Weight of the body > Weight of the displaced liquid
(c ) Weight of the body > Weight of the displaced liquid
15. Give expression for relative density of

iii. Liquid

16. At what depth below the surface of water well pressure be equal to twice the
-2
atmospheric pressure? Atmospheric pressure is 10 Nm , density of water is 1000
-3 -2
kgm and g = 9.8 ms .
17. A cube of each side 5 cm is placed inside a liquid. The pressure at the centre of one
face of cube is 10 Pa. Calculate the thrust exerted by the liquid on this face.
18. A square plate of side 10 m is placed horizontally 1 m below the surface of water. The
-2
atmospheric pressure is 1.013 × 105 Nm . Calculate the total thrust and the plate.
