Consider a spongy block of mass 
floating on a flowing river. The maximum mass of the block is related to the speed of the river flow 
, acceleration due to gravity 
and the density of the block 
such that 
( 
is constant). The values of 
and 
should then respectively be(Mass of the spongy block is assumed to vary due to absorption of water by it)

Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
Maximum mass 
Using 
Put the dimensional formula on both side, we get,
Comparing the dimensions of 
and 
on both sides, we get
Solving eqn. (i), (ii) and (iii) we get the value of 
and 
.
