Let length of submerged part $=\mathrm{h}$

then $\mathrm{Ah} \rho=\mathrm{A} \ell \rho_{0}$

$\Rightarrow \mathrm{h}=\frac{\rho_{0} \ell}{\rho}$

$\therefore \mathrm{T}=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{h}}{\mathrm{g}}} \Rightarrow \mathrm{T}=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{\rho_{0} \ell}{\rho \mathrm{g}}}$

    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? $Image$
