The large vessel shown in the figure contains oil and water. A body is submerged at the interface of oil and water such that $$45$$ percent of its volume is in oil while the rest is in water. The density of the body is _______________ $$kg/{m^3}.$$

The specific gravity of oil is $$0.7$$ and density of water is $$1000$$ $$kg/{m^3}.$$

Acceleration due to gravity $$g = 10\,m/{s^2}$$

Assuming constant temperature condition and air to be an ideal gas, the variation in atmospheric pressure with height calculated from fluid statics is

Consider a frictionless, massless and leak-proof plug blocking a rectangular hole of dimensions $$2R \times L$$ at the bottom of an open tank as shown in the figure. The head of the plug has the shape of a semi-cylinder of radius $$R.$$ The tank is filled with a liquid of density $$\rho $$ up to the tip of the plug. The gravitational acceleration is $$g.$$ Neglect the effect of the atmospheric pressure.

The force $$F$$ required to hold the plug in its position is

Two cylindrical shafts $$A$$ and $$B$$ at the same initial temperature are simultaneously placed in a furnace. The surfaces of the shafts remain at the furnace gas temperature at all times after they are introduced into the furnace. The temperature variation in the axial direction of the shafts can be assumed to be negligible. The data related to shafts $$A$$ and $$B$$ is given in the following Table.

The temperature at the center-line of the shaft $$A$$ reaches $${400^ \circ }C$$ after two hours. The time required (in hours) for the center-line of the shaft $$B$$ to attain the temperature of $${400^ \circ }C$$ is ____________
