In elastic collision with the surface, direction of velocity is reversed but its magnitude remains the same.
Therefore. time of fall=time of rise.
or time of fall=t1t2
Hence, velocity of the ball just before it collides with liquid is
v=gt12 (i)
Retardation inside the liquid
a=upthrust−weightmass
=VdLg−VdgVd
=(dL−dd)g (ii)
Time taken to come to rest under this retardation will be
t=va
=gt12a
=gt12(dL−dd)g
=dt12(dL−d)
Same will be the time to come back on the liquid surface.
Therefore,
t2=time the ball takes to came back to the position from where it was released
=t1+2t
=t1+dt1dL−d
=t1[1+ddL−d]
or t2=t1dLdL−d
