The velocity of the body when it reaches the surface of the lake is given by
v2=2gh ...... (1)
When the body is in air the gravitational force acting on it is
F=mg=Vρg ...... (2)
Where V is the volume of the body.
When the body enters the lake, there will be an upthrust acting on the body. The upthrust is given by
U=Vδg
Since δ>ρ, upthrust will be greater then the gravitational force. The net force acting on the body will be
F′=Vδg−VρgVg=(δ−ρ) ....... (3)
By eqs. (2) and (3)
FF′=ρδ−ρga=ρδ−ρ∴a=(ρδ−ρ)g∴ag=δ−ρρ If a is the accelertion
If a is the acceleration retardation in the liquid then
v2 = 2ad ...... (4)
BY eqs (1) and (4) 2ad=2gh
∴d=agh∴d=δ−ρρh
