There are four cylindrical vessels identical in dimensions. If these are filled with equal masses of four different liquids \(P, Q, R\) and\( S\) such that their densities are \(\rho_P>\rho_Q>\rho_R>\rho_S, \) then the pressure at the base of the vessel will be:
1. \(P_P=P_Q=P_R=P_S\) 2. \(P_P>P_Q>P_R>P_S\)
3. \(P_P<P_Q<P_R<P_S\) 4. The data is insufficient to predict the relation

The reading of a spring balance when a block is suspended from it in the air is 60 N. This reading is changed to 40 N when the block is submerged in water. The specific gravity of the block, therefore, must be:
1. 3
2. 2
3. 6
4. 3/2
