Question 132 of 194
A cylindrical plastic bottle of negligible mass is filled with of water and left floating in a pond with still water. If pressed downward slightly and released, it starts performing simple harmonic motion at angular frequency If the radius of the bottle is then is close to: density of water
Show answer and solution
Answer: (C)
Let at equilibrium, length of bottle is immerged in water:
So,
..... [Equilibrium Condition]
Now it is further pushed by distance
So,
..... [Equilibrium Condition]
Now it is further pushed by distance
