A body of density D is droped gently on the surface layer of liquid of density 'd' and depth 'h'. If D > d, the downward acceleration of the body while sinking is :

A

g

B

`g(1-d/D)`

C

`g(1+d/D)`

D

`(g.d)/D`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

Here resultant downward force
`=mg-M/Dxxdxxg`
`therefore`acc.a=`(mg[1-d/D])/m=g[1-d/D]`
Correct choice is (b).
