A cork of mass m1 and a steel of mass m2 are tied to the ends of a massless string. The whole system is kept in a liquid of density  as shown in figure. 1and 2 are densities of cork and steel respectively. Which of the following is wrong ?

 

 

(a)

The tension in the string T = m2g when the system is in equilibrium.

(b)

The cork is completely immersed in the liquid if (m­1+m2)12<(m12+m21)

(c)

The volume of submerged part of cork is equal to  +   when the system is in equilibrium.

(d)

The system sinks if T> m1g.
