Other SHM Systems

A rectangular block of mass 'm' and cross-sectional area 'A' floats on a liquid of density ' $\varrho$ '. It is given a small vertical displacement from equilibrium, it starts oscillating with frequency (g=acceleration due to gravity)

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

Restoring force $A\varrho g x$ , so $\omega = \sqrt{\frac{A\varrho g}{m}}$ .
$f = \frac{\omega}{2\pi} = \frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{A\varrho g}{m}}$ , answer (c).
