Fluid Mechanics and SHM question Question

We can't just solve it for you. In summary, the conversation is about a physics problem involving a cylindrical object of certain dimensions and density, supported by a vertical spring and half dipped in water. The questions are to find the elongation of the spring in equilibrium and the time period of oscillations if the object is slightly depressed and released.

Can please anyone solve the following question in details...

A cylindrical object of outer diameter 10 cm height 20 cm and density 8000 kg/m3 is supported by a vertical spring and is half dipped in water. Spring constant is 500N/m.
(a) Find the elongation in the spring in equilibrium condition
(b)If the object is slightly depressed and released, find the time period of resulting oscillations of object.

Hi Swaraj M! Welcome to pf! :smile:

As per the rules, you need to show us your attempt at the problem before asking for help.
 

Related to Fluid Mechanics and SHM question Question

What is fluid mechanics?

Fluid mechanics is the branch of physics that deals with the study of fluids (liquids and gases) and the forces acting on them. It involves the study of how fluids behave and interact with their surroundings.

What is SHM (Simple Harmonic Motion)?

SHM is a type of periodic motion in which an object oscillates back and forth between two points along a straight line. It is characterized by a restoring force that is proportional to the displacement from an equilibrium position.

What are the applications of fluid mechanics?

Fluid mechanics has a wide range of applications in various fields such as engineering, meteorology, and biology. It is used to design and analyze systems such as pipelines, aircraft wings, and pumps. It also plays a crucial role in understanding weather patterns and blood flow in the human body.

What factors affect fluid flow?

The main factors that affect fluid flow are viscosity, density, and pressure. Viscosity is the measure of a fluid's resistance to flow, while density is the measure of its mass per unit volume. Pressure is the force exerted by a fluid on its surroundings, and it can affect the direction and speed of fluid flow.

What is the difference between laminar and turbulent flow?

Laminar flow is a smooth, orderly flow of fluid, where layers of fluid move in parallel without mixing. Turbulent flow, on the other hand, is a chaotic and irregular flow, where the fluid particles mix and flow in different directions. The transition between laminar and turbulent flow depends on factors such as fluid velocity, viscosity, and surface roughness.
