CP SHM of a Floating Object. An object with height h , mass M , and a uniform cross-sectional area A floats up-right in a liquid with density ρ . (a) Calculate the vertical distance from the surface of the liquid to the bottom of the floating object at equilibrium. (b) A downward force with magnitude F is applied to the top of the object. At the new equilibrium position, how much farther below the surface of the liquid is the bottom of the object than it was in part (a)? (Assume that some of the object remains above the surface of the liquid.) (c) Your result in part (b) shows that if the force is suddenly removed, the object will oscillate up and down in SHM. Calculate the period of this motion in terms of the density ρ of the liquid, the mass M , and the cross-sectional area A of the object. You can ignore the damping due to fluid friction (see Section 14.7).

Definition Definition Special type of oscillation where the force of restoration is directly proportional to the displacement of the object from its mean or initial position. If an object is in motion such that the acceleration of the object is directly proportional to its displacement (which helps the moving object return to its resting position) then the object is said to undergo a simple harmonic motion. An object undergoing SHM always moves like a wave.
3.63 • Leaping the River II. A physics professor did daredevil
stunts in his spare time. His last stunt was an attempt to jump across
a river on a motorcycle (Fig. P3.63). The takeoff ramp was inclined at
53.0°, the river was 40.0 m wide, and the far bank was 15.0 m lower
than the top of the ramp. The river itself was 100 m below the ramp.
Ignore air resistance. (a) What should his speed have been at the top of
the ramp to have just made it to the edge of the far bank? (b) If his speed
was only half the value found in part (a), where did he land?

Please solve and answer the question correctly please. Thank you!!
You throw a small rock straight up from the edge of a highway bridge that crosses a river. The rock passes you on its way down, 5.00 s after it was thrown. What is the speed of the rock just before it reaches the water 25.0 m below the point where the rock left your hand? Ignore air resistance.
