Properties of Matter 2 Question 5

5. A hemispherical portion of radius $R$ is removed from the bottom of a cylinder of radius $R$. The volume of the remaining cylinder is $V$ and mass $M$. It is suspended by a string in a liquid of density $\rho$, where it stays vertical.The

upper surface of the cylinder is at a depth $h$ below the liquid surface. The force on the bottom of the cylinder by the liquid is

$(2001,2 M)$

(a) $M g$

(b) $M g-V \rho g$

(c) $M g+\pi R^{2} h \rho g$

(d) $\rho g\left(V+\pi R^{2} h\right)$

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 5. (a)

Solution:

  1. $F _2-F _1=$ upthrust

$\therefore \quad F _2=F _1+$ upthrust

$F _2=\left(p _0+\rho g h\right) \pi R^{2}+V \rho g$

$$ =p _0 \pi R^{2}+\rho g\left(\pi R^{2} h+V\right) $$

$\therefore$ Most appropriate option is (d).
