ipVv²,
As a submerged body moves through a fluid, the particles of the fluid flow around the body and thus acquire kinetic energy. In the case of a sphere moving in an ideal fluid, the total kinetic energy acquired by the fluid is where p is the mass density of the fluid, V is the volume of the sphere, and v is the velocity of the sphere. Consider a 500-g hollow spherical shell of radius 80 mm that is held submerged in a tank of water by a spring of constant 500 N/m. (a ) Neglecting fluid friction, determine the period of vibration of the shell when it is displaced vertically and then released. (b) Solve part a, assuming that the tank is accelerated upward at the constant rate of 8 m/s2.
