A ball of density d is dropped on to a horizontal solid surface. It bounces elastically from the surface and returns to its original position in a timet_1 Next, the ball is released and its falls through the same height before striking the surface of a liquid of densityd _ L. Neglect all frictional and other dissipative force. Assume the depth of the liquid to be large. Ifd lt d _ Lobtain an expression (in terms of d,t_1andd_L) for the timet _ 2 the ball takes to come back to the position from which it was released.

Answer»

`2t_1 `
`(dt_1 )/((d_L- d )) `
` (dt_1)/(2 (d_L- d )) `
` (2dt_1 )/(( d _L - d )) `

Solution :In elastic collision with the surface, direction of velocity is reversed but its magnitude remains the same. Therefore,
timeoffall= time ofrice. Ortime offall `= (t_1 )/(2) `
Hence, velocity of the ball just before it COLLIDES with LIQUID is`v =g(t _ 1 )/(2) "" ...(i) `
RETARDATION inside the liquid `a = ("UPTHRUST -weight")/("mass") = (Vd_L g -V dg )/(Vd )= ((d_L - d )/(d))g "" `...(ii)
Time taken to come to rest under this retardation will be`t =(V)/(a)=(g t _ 1 )/( 2 a )= (g t _1)/(2((d_L- d )/(d ))g )= (d t _ 1)/(2(d _ L - d )) `
same will be the time to come back on the liquid surface`because ` a is constant. Therefore,
` t_2 ` =time the ball takes to came back to the position from where it was released
`= t _ 1+ 2t =t _ 1+ (dt _ 1 )/(d_L - d ) = t _ 1 [ 1 +(d)/(d_L - d )] ort_2= (t_1d _ L)/(d _ L - d ) `
