An object of mass 125 kg is released from rest from a boat into the water and allowed to sink. While gravity is pulling the object down, a buoyancy force of
times the weight of the object is pushing the object up (weight = mg). If we assume that water

resistance exerts a force on the object that is proportional to the velocity of the object, with proportionality constant 10 N-sec/m, find the equation of motion of the object. After how many seconds will the velocity of the object be 90 m/sec? Assume that the

consists of a bar B, of mass 1kg, and block C of mass 6kg. The centre of gravity G1 and
G2 of B and C are at distance 150mm and 375mm from 0. The radius of gyration of B
and C, each about its own centre of gravity, are respectively 100mm and 25mm. A light
spring is attached to the pendulum at point P, 200mm from 0, and is anchored at a fixed
point, Q.

the angle OPQ is 90°. The spring has a stiffness of 700N/m.
