A ball of density rho(0) falls from rest...

A ball of density `rho_(0)` falls from rest from a point P onto the surface of a liquid of density `rho` in the time T. It enters the liquid, stops, moves up, and returns to P in a total time 3 T. neglect viscosity, surface tension and splashing find the ratio of `(rho)/(rho_(0))`

Text Solution

It strike the surface of liquid with velocity `v_(1)=g T`
In water (liquid) its time of flight `T=(2v_(1))/(((rho)/(rho_(0))-1)g)=(2gT)/(((rho)/(rho_(0))-1)g)implies(rho)/(rho_(0))=3`

A spray gun is shown in the figure where a piston pushes air out of a nozzle. A thin tube of uniform cross section is connected to the nozzle. The other end of the tube is in a small liquid container. As the piston pushes air through the nozzle, the liquid from the container rises into the nozzle and is sprayed out. For the spray gun shown, the radii of the piston and the nozzle are 20mm and 1mm respectively. The upper end of the container is open to the atmosphere. If the density of air is rho_a , and that of the liquid rho_l , then for a given piston speed the rate (volume per unit time) at which the liquid is sprayed will be proportional to

An insulating solid sphere of radius R has a uniformaly positive charge density rho . As a result of this uniform charge distribution there is a finite value of electric potential at the centre of the sphere, at the surface of the sphere and also at a point out side the sphere.
