Q77 / 90 · JEE Main 2019 (10 Jan Shift 2) · Physics

A cylindrical plastic bottle of negligible mass is filled with 310 ml of water and left floating in a pond with still water. If pressed downward slightly and released, it starts performing simple harmonic motion at angular frequency ω. If the radius of the bottle is 2.5 cm then ω is close to: ( density of water =103kg/m3)

  • A
    5.00 rad sec-1⁡ 
  • B
    2.50 rad sec-1⁡
  • Correct answer
    C
    7.9 rad sec-1⁡ 
  • D
    3.75 rad sec-1⁡

Solution

Let at equilibrium, y length of bottle is immerged in water:

So, mg=fbuo

mg=ρAyg ..... (1) [Equilibrium Condition]

Now it is further pushed by distance x

Frestoring=ρ[Ax+y)g-mg

mω2x=ρAxg+ρAyg-mg

ω=ρAgm=ρAgρV=πr2gV=7.9 rad/sec

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
