A cubical block of ice of maas m and edge L is placed in a large tray of maas M. If the ie melts, how far does the centre of maas of the system ''ice plus tray'' come down?

A

If both assertion and reason are correct and reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are correct but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion

C

If assertion is correct but reason is incorrect.

D

If both assertion and reason are incorrect.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Centre of mass remains at the same place due to absence of external forces in gravity free space. Normal reaction between ice and tray remains zero

A rectangular tank having base 15 cm xx 20 cm is filled with water (density rho = 1000 kg//m^(2)) up to 20 cm and force constant K = 280 N//m is fixed to the bottom of the tank so that the spring remains vertical. This sysytem is in an elevator moving downwards with acceleration a = 2 m//s^(2) . A cubical block of side l = 10 cm and mass m = 2 kg is gently placed over the spring and released gradually, as shown in the figure. a. Calculate compression of the spring in equilibrium position. b. If the block is slightly pushed down from equilibrium position and released, calculate frequency of its vertical oscillations.
