A wooden cylinder of diameter 4r, height h and density is kept on a hole of diameter 2r of tank, filled with liquid of density as shown in the figure.
Now level of the liquid starts decreasing slowly. When the level of liquid is at a height h1 above the cylinder the block starts moving up. At what value of h1 will the block rise?
