Question
A wooden block, with a coin placed on its top, floats in water as shown in fig. the distance l and h are shown there. After some time the coin falls into the water. Then
- l decreases and h increases
- l increases and h decreases
- Both l and h increase
- Both l and h decrease
The correct answer is: Both l and h decrease
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.
