Q.

A large tank of cross-section area A contains liquid of density ρ . A cylinder of density ρ4, length  l=40cm, and cross-section area a (<< A) floating in the liquid. It is pushed inside the liquid so that it is just submerged and then released at t = 0 . Assuming that the water level in the tank remains constant, determine the speed (in m /s) of the cylinder when it reaches its equilibrium position for the first time. Neglect viscous forces.  Take g=10 ms-2
