The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will analyze the motion of a small body of density \( \rho' \) dropped from a height \( h \) into a lake of density \( \rho \) (where \( \rho > \rho' \)). We will determine the correct statements regarding the motion of the body in the lake, neglecting all dissipative effects. ### Step 1: Determine the velocity just before entering the lake The body is dropped from rest, so its initial velocity \( u = 0 \). We can use the equation of motion to find the velocity \( v \) just before it enters the lake: \[ v^2 = u^2 + 2gh \] Substituting \( u = 0 \): \[ v^2 = 0 + 2gh \implies v = \sqrt{2gh} \] ### Step 2: Analyze the forces acting on the body in the lake Once the body enters the lake, two forces act on it: 1. The weight of the body \( W = \rho' V g \) (where \( V \) is the volume of the body). 2. The buoyant force \( F_b = \rho V g \). The net force acting on the body when it is submerged is: \[ F_{net} = W - F_b = \rho' V g - \rho V g = V g (\rho' - \rho) \] Since \( \rho' < \rho \), the net force is downward. ### Step 3: Determine the upward acceleration of the body Using Newton's second law, we can express the net force in terms of acceleration \( a \): \[ F_{net} = m a \implies V g (\rho - \rho') = \rho' V a \] Dividing both sides by \( V \): \[ g (\rho - \rho') = \rho' a \implies a = \frac{g (\rho - \rho')}{\rho'} \] ### Step 4: Determine how deep the body will sink To find the depth \( h' \) to which the body sinks, we can use the kinematic equation: \[ v^2 = u^2 + 2a h' \] At the maximum depth, the final velocity \( v = 0 \) (the body comes to rest momentarily), and the initial velocity \( u \) is the velocity just before entering the lake \( \sqrt{2gh} \): \[ 0 = (2gh) + 2 \left(-\frac{g (\rho - \rho')}{\rho'}\right) h' \] Solving for \( h' \): \[ 0 = 2gh - \frac{2g (\rho - \rho')}{\rho'} h' \implies h' = \frac{h \rho'}{\rho - \rho'} \] ### Step 5: Conclusion Based on the analysis, we can conclude the following: 1. The velocity just before entering the lake is \( v = \sqrt{2gh} \). 2. The upward acceleration of the body in the lake is \( a = \frac{g (\rho - \rho')}{\rho'} \). 3. The depth to which the body sinks is \( h' = \frac{h \rho'}{\rho - \rho'} \). 4. The body will eventually rise back to the surface because it is less dense than the water. ### Summary of Correct Statements - Statement 1: Correct (velocity just before entering the lake). - Statement 2: Correct (upward acceleration). - Statement 3: Correct (depth of sinking). - Statement 4: Incorrect (the body will rise back to the surface).
