Question

A test tube of length l and area of cross-section A has some iron fillings of mass M as shown in figure. The test tube floats normally in a liquid of density ρ with length x dipped in the liquid. A disturbing force makes the tube oscillate in the liquid. The time period of oscillation is given by -

Options

A.
B.
C.
D.

Solution

at equilibrium position
Axρg = Mg    M = Axρ  ----------(1)
If tube displaced by distance y vertically downward then net force on tube
A(x + y)ρg − Mg = Ma
a = y    ⇒    a = (g/x)y
Time period       T = 2π
