When the spring object system is immersed in a liquid of density ρ1 as shown in the figure, the spring stretches by an amount x1ρ>ρ1. When the experiment is repeated in a liquid of density ρ2<ρ1, the spring stretches by an amount, x2. Neglecting any buoyant force on the spring, the density of the object is

Two glasses with identical volumes are filled with water to the half-way mark and are kept side by side. Two solid cubes made of the same metal are now dropped into the two glasses and both of them sink in the water. The first glass is completely filled now. The second glass is still 716th empty. The ratio of the surface areas of the cubes dropped into the first and the second glass is
