Question

A body of density ^ is dropped from rest at a height h into a lake of density where > ^ neglecting all dissipative forces, calculate the maximum depth to which the body sinks before returning to float on the surface:

Quantrex Academy · Accepted Answer

Correct answer: C. h ^ - ^

The effective acceleration of the body g ^ = (1- ^ ) g Now, the depth to which the body sinks h ^ = ( u ² 2 ~g ^ )= 2 gh 2 ~g ^ = gh g ^ = h ^ - ^

A body of density ^ is dropped from rest at a height h into a lake of density where > ^ neglecting all dissipative forces, calculate the maximum depth to which the body sinks before returning to float on the surface:
