A cube of side (a) and mass (M) is initially sitting fully submerged at the bottom of a container filled with a liquid of kinematic viscosity v and density p. The container has a square cross-section of side (a+a/5) and the cube is sitting right at the middle of the container base. (a) A force (F) starts pulling the cube up at a constant velocity (U). Develop an expression for the force in terms of (U, M. a. g, p and v). You may assume that the velocity in the gap between the cube's sides and the container walls is linear. The expression for (F) is to be valid as long as the cube remains submerged. (b) After the cube reaches the water surface, it continues to be pulled up by the same force. Develop a differential equation for the variation with time of the fraction of the cube that is submerged in water.

Question

A cube of side (a) and mass (M) is initially sitting fully submerged at the bottom of a container filled

with a liquid of kinematic viscosity v and density p. The container has a square cross-section of side (a+a/5) and the cube is sitting right at the middle of the container base. (a) A force (F) starts pulling the cube up at a constant velocity (U). Develop an expression for the

force in terms of (U, M. a. g, p and v). You may assume that the velocity in the gap between the cube's sides and the container walls is linear. The expression for (F) is to be valid as long as the cube remains submerged.

(b) After the cube reaches the water surface, it continues to be pulled up by the same force. Develop a differential equation for the variation with time of the fraction of the cube that is submerged in water.
