A stream-lined body falls through air from a height $h$ on the surface of liquid. Let $d$ and $D$ denote the densities of the materials of the body and the liquid respectively. If  $D > d$, then the time after which the body will be instantaneously at rest, is

  • A

    $\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}$

  • B

    $\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} \frac{D}{d}}$

  • C

    $\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} \frac{d}{D}}$

  • D

    $\sqrt {\frac{{2h}}{g}} \left( {\frac{d}{{D - d}}} \right)$

A small solid ball is dropped from a height above the free surface of a liquid. It strikes the surface of the liquid at $t = 0$. The density of the material of the ball is $500\  kg/m^3$ and that of liquid is $1000\  kg/m^3$ If the ball comes momeritariiy at rest at $t = 2\  sec$ then initial height of the ball from surface of liquid was ..... $m$ (neglect viscosity)
