A stream-lined body falls through air from a height `h` on the surface of a liquid . Let `d` and `D` denote the densities of the materials of the body and the liquid respectively, if `D gt d`, then the time after which the body will be intantaneously at rest, is:A. `sqrt((2h)/(g))`B. `sqrt((2h)/(g)(D)/(d))`C. `sqrt((2h)/(g)(d)/(D))`D. `sqrt((2h)/(g)) ((d)/(D-d))`

Answer» Correct Answer - D
Velocity `u` of the body when it enters the liquid is given by `mgh=1/2mu^(2) or u = sqrt(2gh)`
Let Volume of the body = `V`
Mass of the body = `Vd`
weight of the body = `V dg`
Mass of liquid displaceed = `VD`
weight of liquid displaced = `VDg`
Net upward force = `VDg-VDg`
`=V_(g)(D-d)`
Retardation = `(n et weight)/(mass)`
`=(V(D-d)g)/(Vd) = ((D-d)/(d))g`
Acceleration `a = -((D-d)/(d))g`
Final velocity , `v` in the liquid when the body is instantaneously at rest is zero. let the time taken be `t`.
`v = u+at`
`0=sqrt(2gh)-((D-d)/(d))g t * ((D-d)/(d))g t =sqrt(2gh)`
`:. t= [(d)/(D-d)] sqrt((2h)/(g))`.
