Question

A small solid ball  is dropped from a height  above the free surface of a liquid. It strikes the surface of the liquid at t = 0. The density of the material of the ball is 500 kg/m3 and that of liquid is 1000 kg/m3. If the ball comes momentarily at rest at t = 2 sec then initial height of the ball from surface of liquid was (neglect viscosity) :

Options

A.20m
B.10 m
C.15 m
D.25 m

Solution

Velocity of ball when it reaches to surface of liquid

a = ; where V is the volume of the ball.
a = 10 m/sec2
apply     v = u + at       ⇒    0 = − 10t
= 10 × (2)
⇒ 2 × 10 × h = 400     ⇒    h = 20 m    Ans
