13.Oscillations
medium
A cylindrical block of wood (density $= 650\, kg\, m^{-3}$), of base area $30\,cm^2$ and height $54\, cm$, floats in a liquid of density $900\, kg\, m^{-3}$ . The block is depressed slightly and then released. The time period of the resulting oscillations of the block would be equal to that of a simple pendulum of length ..... $cm$ (nearly)
A
$52$
B
$65$
C
$39$
D
$26$
(JEE MAIN-2015)
Solution
Required equivalent length
$=\frac{\rho_{\text {wood }}}{\rho_{\text {liquid }}} \times$ height of block
$=\frac{650}{900} \times 54 \times 10^{-2}$
$\Rightarrow l=0.39 \mathrm{m}=39 \mathrm{cm}$
