A cylindrical tank has a hole of diameter 2r in its bottom. The hole is covered wooden cylindrical block of diameter 4r, height h and density r/3. 

Situation 1: Initially, the tank is filled with water of density r to a height such that the height of water above the top of the block is h1 (measured from the top of the block).
Situation 2 : The water is removed from the tank to a height h2 (measured from the bottom of the block),as shown in the figure. The height h2 is smaller than h (height of the block) and thus the block is exposed to the atmosphere.

In situation 2, if h2 is further decreased, then
