The velocity of a small ball of mass M and density d ....

The velocity of a small ball of mass M and density d, when dropped in a container filled with glycerin becomes constant after some time. If the density of glycerin is $\frac {d}{2}$, then the viscous force acting on the ball will be:

(1) $\frac {Mg}{2}$
(2) $Mg$
(3) $\frac {3}{2} Mg$
(4) $2Mg$

Solution


When velocity is constant, net force = 0.

$\therefore B+F=Mg$

Since density of glycerin is $\frac {1}{2}$ of the density of the ball, the buoyant force is half of the weight of the ball.

$B=\frac {Mg}{2}$

Now, $\frac {Mg}{2}+F=Mg$

$\therefore F=\frac {Mg}{2}$

${\log _{\sqrt 5 }}\left[ {3 + \cos \left( {\frac{{3\pi }}{4} + x} \right) + \cos \left( {\frac{\pi }{4} + x} \right) + \cos \left( {\frac{\pi }{4} - x} \right) - \cos \left( {\frac{{3\pi }}{4} - x} \right)} \right]$

The range of the function $f(x) = {\log _{\sqrt 5 }}\left[ {3 + \cos \left( {\frac{{3\pi }}{4} + x} \right) + \cos \left( {\frac{\pi }{4} + x} \right) + \cos \left( {\frac{\pi }{4} - x} \right) - \cos \left( {\frac{{3\pi }}{4} - x} \right)} \right]$ is: (A) $[ - 2,2]$ (B) $\left[ {\frac{1}{{\sqrt 5 }},\sqrt 5 } \right]$ (C) $(0,\sqrt 5 )$ (D) $[ 0,2]$ Solution We have, $f(x) = {\log _{\sqrt 5 }}\left( {3 - 2\sin \frac{{3\pi }}{4}\sin x + 2\cos \frac{\pi }{4}\cos x} \right)$ $ \Rightarrow f(x) = {\log _{\sqrt 5 }}\left[ {3 + \sqrt 2 (\cos x - \sin x)} \right]$ Now, $ - \sqrt 2  \le \cos x - \sin x \le \sqrt 2 $ $\therefore - 2 \le \sqrt 2 (\cos x - \sin x) \le 2$ $\therefore 1 \le 3 + \sqrt 2 (\cos x - \sin x) \le 5$ $\therefore{\log _{\sqrt 5 }}1 \le {\log _{\sqrt 5 }}[3 + \sqrt 2 (\cos x - \sin x)] \le {\log _{\sqrt 5 }}5$ $ \Rightarrow 0 \le f(x) \le 2$ Answer: (D)
