JEE Main 2026 — 2 April, Morning Shift — Question 19
A tube is filled with water and a wooden cube is placed in the water. The wooden cube is found to float on the water with a part of it submerged in water. When a metal coin is placed on the wooden cube, the submerged part is increased by . The mass of the metal coin is gram. (Take water density as and density of wood as )
Answer: 387
Numerical answer — enter this value.
Step-by-step solution
Weight of coin = additional upthrust = ρ_water * (additional submerged volume) * g = 1 * (3.87 * 10^2) = 387 g
