To solve the question, we need to analyze the situation of the water tanker when it suddenly brakes while moving with a uniform speed. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Initial Condition**: The water tanker is filled up to \( \frac{2}{3} \) of its height and is moving with a uniform speed. This means that the water inside the tank is also moving at the same speed as the tanker. **Hint**: Consider the concept of inertia, which is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion. ...

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?
