Problem

A leak proof cylinder of length 1 m, made of a metal which has very low coefficient of expansion is floating vertically in water at 0∘C0^\circ\text{C} such that its height above the water surface is 20 cm. When the temperature of water is increased to 4∘C4^\circ\text{C}, the height of the cylinder above the water surface becomes 21 cm. The density of water at T=4∘CT=4^\circ\text{C}, relative to the density at T=0∘CT=0^\circ\text{C} is close to: (1) 1.26 (2) 1.04 (3) 1.01 (4) 1.03
