Pressure in a fluid-mechanical properties of fluids

Question

A ball whose density is 0.4 × 10³ kg/m³ falls into water from a height of 9 cm . To what depth does the ball sink

Moderate

A

9 cm
B

6 cm
C

4.5 cm
D

2.25 cm

Solution

The velocity of ball before entering the water surface
$v = \sqrt{2 gh} = \sqrt{2 g \times 9}$
When ball enters into water, due to upthrust of water the velocity of ball decreases (or retarded)
The retardation, a = $\frac{apparent weight}{mass of ball}$
$\frac{= V (ρ - σ) g}{Vρ} = (\frac{ρ - σ}{ρ}) g = (\frac{0 .4 - 1}{0 .4}) \times g = - \frac{3}{2} g$
If h be the depth upto which ball sink, then,
$0 - v^{2} = 2 \times (- \frac{3}{2} g) \times h \Rightarrow 2 g \times 9 = 3 gh ∴ h = 6 cm$
