Fluid Mechanics Viscosity Question 256
Question: A body B is capable of remaining stationary inside a liquid at the position shown in Fig. (a). If the whole system is gently placed on smooth inclined plane (Fig (b)) and is allowed to slide down, then ($ 0<\theta <90^{o} $ ). The body will
Options:
A) Move up (relative to liquid)
B) Move down (relative to liquid)
C) Remain stationary (relative to liquid)
D) Move up for some inclination $ \theta $ and will move down for another inclination $ \theta $
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: D
Solution:
[d] Due to acceleration down the plane, both body B and liquid will received the same component of acceleration down the plane.
