Q.

A table tennis ball has radius m and mass kg. It is slowly pushed down into a swimming pool to a depth of m below the water surface and then released from rest. It emerges from the water surface at speed , without getting wet, and rises up to a height . Which of the following option(s) is (are) correct?

[Given: , , density of water , viscosity of water .]

  1. A

    The work done in pushing the ball to the depth is J.

  2. B

    If we neglect the viscous force in water, then the speed m/s.

  3. C

    If we neglect the viscous force in water, then the height m.

  4. D

    The ratio of the magnitudes of the net force excluding the viscous force to the maximum viscous force in water is .

Solution

Volume of the ball:

The buoyant force on the ball is and its weight is . Work done in pushing the ball down a distance :

Numerically, and . So J. (A) is correct.

By energy conservation, the same J converts to kinetic energy as the ball just emerges from the water:

(B) is correct.

Height above the water surface: , not m. (C) is incorrect.

Net non-viscous force in water:

Maximum Stokes' viscous drag occurs at :

Ratio: (D) is correct.
