Review. Assume a certain liquid, with density 1 230 kg/m3, exerts no friction force on spherical objects. A ball of mass 2.10 kg and radius 9.00 cm is dropped from rest into a deep tank of this liquid from a height of 3.30 m above the surface. (a) Find the speed at which the hall enters the liquid. (b) Evaluate the magnitudes of the two forces that are exerted on the ball as it moves through the liquid. (c) Explain why the ball moves down only a limited distance into the liquid and calculate this distance. (d) With what speed will the ball pop up out of the liquid? (c) How does the time interval ∆tdown, during which the ball moves from the surface down to its lowest point, compare with the lime interval ∆tup for the return trip between the same two points? (f) What If? Now modify the model to suppose the liquid exerts a small friction force on the ball, opposite in direction to its motion. In this case, how do the time intervals ∆tdown and ∆tup compare? Explain your answer with a conceptual argument rather than a numerical calculation.

Explanation:
Given info: The density of the liquid is
The speed of the ball which enters the liquid is equal to the speed of the ball pop up out of the liquid because absence of friction, no energy losses occur in this system. Hence the speed of the ball pop up out of the liquid is

To determine: The result of comparison the time interval during which the ball moves from the surface to its lowest point with the time interval for return trip at the same point.
Answer to Problem 36AP
Answer: The time interval during which the ball moves from the surface to its lowest point is identical to the time interval for return trip at the same point.
Explanation of Solution
Explanation:
Given info: The density of the liquid is
The time interval during which the ball moves from the surface to its lowest point is identical to the time interval for return trip at the same point because ball going down and up acceleration of the ball and distance covered by the ball is same.

(f)

To explain: Compare the time interval during which the ball moves from the surface to its lowest point with the time interval for return trip at the same point.
Answer to Problem 36AP
Answer: The time interval during which the ball moves from the surface to its lowest point is not equal to the time interval for return trip at the same point.
Explanation of Solution
Explanation:
Given info: The density of the liquid is
The time interval during which the ball moves from the surface to its lowest point is not equal to the time interval for return trip at the same point when friction is present because energy losses by the system.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the time interval during which the ball moves from the surface to its lowest point is not equal to the time interval for return trip at the same point.
