A table tennis ball has radius (3/2) × 10−2 m and mass (22/7) × 10−3 kg. It is slowly pushed down into a 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? [Given: 𝜋 = 22/7, 𝑔 = 10 m s −2 , density of water = 1 × 103 kg m−3 , viscosity of water = 1 × 10−3 Pa-s.] (A) The work done in pushing the ball to the depth 𝑑 is 0.077 J. (B) If we neglect the viscous force in water, then the speed 𝑣 = 7 m/s. (C) If we neglect the viscous force in water, then the height 𝐻 = 1.4 m. (D) The ratio of the magnitudes of the net force excluding the viscous force to the maximum viscous force in water is 500/9.

 To solve this problem, we need to analyze the motion of the table tennis ball as it is pushed into the water, released, and rises back to the surface. We will consider the forces acting on the ball, including buoyancy, gravity, and viscous drag, and calculate the work done, speed, height, and force ratios.


Step 1: Work Done in Pushing the Ball to Depth d

The work done in pushing the ball to a depth d is equal to the change in potential energy of the ball-water system. The ball displaces a volume of water equal to its own volume, and the buoyant force acts upward. The work done is:

W=Buoyant Force×d=(ρwVg)d

where:

  • ρw=1×103kg/m3 is the density of water,

  • V=43πr3 is the volume of the ball,

  • r=32×102m is the radius of the ball,

  • g=10m/s2 is the acceleration due to gravity,

  • d=0.7m is the depth.

Substituting the values:

V=43π(32×102)3=43227(278×106)=42227378×106=2376168×106=14.14×106m3

The buoyant force is:

Fb=ρwVg=(1×103)(14.14×106)10=0.1414N

The work done is:

W=Fbd=0.14140.7=0.099J

This does not match option (A), so (A) is incorrect.


Step 2: Speed v and Height H (Neglecting Viscous Force)

If we neglect viscous forces, the ball's motion is governed by buoyancy and gravity. The net upward force on the ball is:

Fnet=Fbmg

where m=227×103kg is the mass of the ball. Substituting the values:

Fnet=0.1414(227×10310)=0.14140.0314=0.11N

The acceleration of the ball is:

a=Fnetm=0.11227×103=0.11722×103=0.7722×103=35m/s2

Using the kinematic equation v2=2ad, the speed v at the surface is:

v=2350.7=49=7m/s

This matches option (B), so (B) is correct.

The maximum height H reached by the ball is given by:

H=v22g=72210=4920=2.45m

This does not match option (C), so (C) is incorrect.


Step 3: Ratio of Forces

The net force excluding viscous force is Fnet=0.11N. The maximum viscous force is given by Stokes' law:

Fviscous=6πηrv

where:

  • η=1×103Pa-s is the viscosity of water,

  • r=32×102m is the radius of the ball,

  • v=7m/s is the speed of the ball.

Substituting the values:

Fviscous=6π(1×103)(32×102)7=6227103321027=62210332102=6221.5105=198105=0.00198N

The ratio of the net force to the maximum viscous force is:

FnetFviscous=0.110.00198=1101.98=5009

This matches option (D), so (D) is correct.


Final Answer:

The correct options are:

(B) and (D)
