A cylindrical tank has a hole of diameter 2r in its bottom. The hole is covered wooden cylindrical block of diameter 4r, height h and density `rho//3`.

Situation I: Initially, the tank is filled with water of density `rho` to a height such that the height of water above the top of the block is `h_1` (measured from the top of the block).
Situation II: The water is removed from the tank to a height `h_2` (measured from the bottom of the block), as shown in the figure. The height `h_2` is smaller than h (height of the block) and thus the block is exposed to the atmosphere.
In situation 2, if `h_2` is further decreased, then

A

(a) cylinder will not move up and remains at its original position

B

(b) for `h_2=h/3`, cylinder again starts moving up

C

(c) for `h_2=h/4`, cylinder again starts moving up

D

(d) for `h_2=h/5`, cylinder again starts moving up

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
When the height `h_2` of water level is further decreased, then the upward force acting on the wooden block decreases. The total force downward remains the same. This difference will be compensated by the normal reaction by the tank wall on the wooden block. Thus the block does not moves up and remains at its original position.

A cylindrical tank has a hole of diameter 2r in its bottom. The hole is covered wooden cylindrical block of diameter 4r, height h and density rho//3 . Situation I: Initially, the tank is filled with water of density rho to a height such that the height of water above the top of the block is h_1 (measured from the top of the block). Situation II: The water is removed from the tank to a height h_2 (measured from the bottom of the block), as shown in the figure. The height h_2 is smaller than h (height of the block) and thus the block is exposed to the atmosphere. Find the minimum value of height h_1 (in situation 1), for which the block just starts to move up?
