Properties Of Solids And Liquids Question 258

Question: A hollow cylinder of mass m made heavy at its bottom is floating vertically in water. It is tilted from its vertical position through an angle θ and is left. The respecting force acting on it is

Options:

A) mgcosθ

B) mgcosθ

C) mg[1cosθ1]

D) mg[1cosθ+1]

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

[c] Let l be the length of the cylinder, when vertical, in water.

Let A be the cross-sectional area of the cylinder.

Equating weight of the cylinder with the up thrust, we get Mg=Alρgorm=Alρ

When the cylinder is tilted through an angle θ , length of Cylinder in water =1cosθ

Weight of water displaced =lcosθAρg

Restoring force =lAρgcosθlAρg

=lAρg[1cosθ1]=mg[1cosθ1]
