Length of horizontal arm of a uniform cross-section U-tube is =21 cm and ends of both of the vertical arms are open to surrounding of pressure 10500 N m-2. A liquid of density ρ=103 kg m-3 is poured into the tube such that liquid just fills the horizontal part of the tube. Now one of the open ends is sealed, and the tube is then rotated about a vertical axis passing through the other vertical arm with angular velocity ω0=10 rad s-1. If length of each vertical arm be a=6 cm. Calculate the length of air column in the sealed arm : g=10 m s-2

A ball of density d is dropped onto a horizontal solid surface. It bounces elastically from the surface and returns to its original position in a time t1. Next, the ball is released and it falls through the same height before striking the surface of a liquid of density dL.

(a) If d < dL, obtain an expression (in terms of d , t1 and dL) for the time t2 the ball takes to come back to the position from which it was released.

(b) Is the motion of the ball simple harmonic?

(c) If d = dL, how does the speed of the ball depend on its depth inside the liquid ?
     Neglect all frictional and other dissipative forces. Assume the depth of the liquid to be large.
