swimming pool to a depth of  d = 0.7 m below the water surface and then released from rest. It emerges

from the water surface at speed  v , without getting wet, and rises up to a height  H . Which of the following

option(s) is(are) correct?

Correct Answer :

Option D

The ratio of the magnitudes of the net force excluding the viscous force to the maximum viscous force in water is 500/9.

Option A

The work done in pushing the ball to the depth d is 0.077J .

Option B

If we neglect the viscous force in water, then the speed v = 7m/s .

Solution :

The correct options are:

The work done in pushing the ball to the depth d is 0.077J .
If we neglect the viscous force in water, then the speed v = 7m/s .
The ratio of the magnitudes of the net force excluding the viscous force to the maximum viscous force in water is 500/9.


Step 1: Given Data and Preliminary Calculations

Radius of the ball, r=32×10-2 m

Mass of the ball, m=227×10-3 kg

Depth, d=0.7 m

Acceleration due to gravity, g=10 m/s2

Density of water, ρw=103 kg/m3

Viscosity of water, η=10-3 Pa·s

Value of π=227


First, let us calculate the volume of the table tennis ball, V:

V=43πr3=43×227×32×10-23 m3

V=43×227×278×10-6=997×10-6 m3


Now, calculate the buoyant force (FB):

FB=Vρwg=997×10-6×103×10=997×10-2 N=0.1414 N


Calculate the gravitational force (W):

W=mg=227×10-3×10=227×10-2 N=0.0314 N


Step 2: Calculate the work done in pushing the ball to depth d

The net upward force excluding viscous force is:

Fnet=FB-mg=997×10-2-227×10-2=777×10-2=11×10-2 N=0.11 N

To slowly push the ball down, an external force equal to Fnet

must be applied downward over a distance d=0.7 m.

Work done, Wext=Fnet×d=0.11×0.7=0.077 J.

Thus, the first option is correct.


Step 3: Calculate the speed v neglecting viscous force

Using the work-energy theorem, work done by the net force during the release of the ball over depth d equals the gain in kinetic energy at the surface:

Fnet×d=12mv2

0.077=12×227×10-3×v2

771000=117000v2

v2=77×70001000×11=7×7=49

v=7 m/s

Thus, the second option is correct.


Step 4: Ratio of net force (excluding viscous force) to maximum viscous force

The maximum speed attained by the ball in water when neglecting viscous force is at the surface, vmax=7 m/s.

The maximum viscous force according to Stokes' law is:

Fviscous, max=6πηrvmax

Fviscous, max=6×227×10-3×32×10-2×7=6×22×32×10-5=198×10-5 N


The ratio of Fnet to Fviscous, max is:

Ratio=11×10-2198×10-5=11×103198=11000198=5009

Thus, the fourth option is also correct.
