NEET 2006 Physics question
A rectangular block of mass m and area of cross-section A floats in a liquid of density . If it is given a small vertical displacement from equilibrium it undergoes oscillation with a time period T. Then:-
Answer: (2)
Solution
If the block is pushed down by a small distance , an extra volume is immersed, so the extra buoyant force (restoring force) is . This is SHM with force constant . Time
