Show that the cross-sectional area $A$ of the cylinder is $0.016\,\text{m}^2$.
Show that the upthrust acting on the cylinder due to the liquid is $32\,\text{N}$.
Calculate the density of the liquid.
Fig. 1.3 displays how the tension $F$ changes with the length of the spring in (b). The tap at the base of the container is opened so that a fixed amount of liquid leaves the container. The cylinder then moves downwards so that the tension in the spring changes from $8.0\,\text{N}$ to $4.0\,\text{N}$. Determine the change in the elastic potential energy of the spring.
Additional liquid is drained from the container until the upthrust on the cylinder is reduced to $24\,\text{N}$. For an upthrust of $24\,\text{N}$, determine the length of the spring.
