A plank is floating in a non- viscous liquid as shown in the figure. Choose the correct option
Equilibrium of plank is stable in vertical direction.
For small oscillation of plank in vertical direction, motion is simple harmonic.
Even, if oscillations are large, motion is simple harmonic till it is not fully immersed.
On vertical displacement, motion is periodic but not simple harmonic.
Restoring force =
This is just like a spring - block system of force constant so, it is SHM.
