Normal time period $T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}$

When immersed in a liquid. It experiences an upthrust.

Upthrust $=\frac{\rho}{4} \times$ volume $g$

Upward acceleration $=$ Upward force $/$ mass of ball $=\frac{g}{4}$

$T^{\prime}=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{I}{g_{e f f}}}$

$g_{\text {eff }}=g-\frac{g}{4}=\frac{3}{4} g$

$T^{\prime}=2 \pi=\sqrt{\frac{1}{3 g} \times 4}=\frac{2 T}{\sqrt{3}}$

    $A$ particle of mass m is constrained to move on $x$ -axis. $A$ force $F$ acts on the particle. $F$ always points toward the position labeled $E$. For example, when the particle is to the left of $E, F$ points to the right. The magnitude of $F$ is a constant $F$ except at point $E$ where it is zero. The system is horizontal. $F$ is the net force acting on the particle. The particle is displaced a distance $A$ towards left from the equilibrium position $E$ and released from rest at $t = 0.$ Find minimum time it will take to reach from $x = - \frac{A}{2}$ to $0$.

    A metal rod of length ' $L$ ' and mass ' $m$ ' is pivoted at one end. A thin disk of mass ' $M$ ' and radius $'R'$ $( < L)$ is attached at its center to the free end of the rod. Consider two ways the disc is attached: (case $A$) The disc is not free to rotate about its center and (case $B$) the disc is free to rotate about its center. The rod-disc system performs $SHM$ in vertical plane after being released from the same displaced position. Which of the following statement$(s)$ is (are) true? $Image$
