Two cubes $A$ and $B$ of same dimensions are made of different materials with densities $\rho_A$ and $\rho_{\mathrm{B}}$, respectively. Cube A floats in water with a fraction $\eta$ of its volume immersed. When cube $B$ is placed on top of cube $A$, it is found that cube $A$ is just entirely immersed, while cube $B$ is entirely above the surface of the water. What is the ratio $\rho_{\mathrm{B}} / \rho_{\mathrm{A}}$ ?
A
$(1-\eta) / \eta$
B
$\eta /(1-\eta)$
C
$\eta$
D
$1 / \eta$

A liquid of density $\rho$ in a container weighs $W$. A cubic block of side $L$ and density $\rho_b<\rho$ is pushed by a stick to completely submerge the block in the liquid without touching the bottom. If $g$ is the acceleration due to the gravity and liquid displaced by the stick is negligible, what is the new weight of the container as registered by the weighing machine below?
