    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

    A)            9 cm                                         

    B)            6 cm                                         

    C)            4.5 cm                                     

    D)            2.25 cm

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     The velocity of ball before entering the water surface                    \[v=\sqrt{2gh}=\sqrt{2g\times 9}\]                    When ball enters into water, due to upthrust of water the velocity of ball decreases (or retarded)                    The retardation, a = \[\frac{\text{apparent weight}}{\text{mass of ball}}\]                    \[\frac{=V(\rho -\sigma )g}{V\rho }\]\[=\left( \frac{\rho -\sigma }{\rho } \right)g\]\[=\left( \frac{0.4-1}{0.4} \right)\times g\]\[=-\frac{3}{2}g\]                    If h be the depth upto which ball sink, then,            \[0-{{v}^{2}}=2\times \left( -\frac{3}{2}g \right)\times h\]Þ \[2g\times 9=3gh\]\ h = 6 cm.
