Answer:
An external force is a force that acts on an object within the system from outside the system. This type of force is different than an internal force, which acts between two objects that are both within the system. The net external force combines these two definitions; it is the total combined external force
Explanation:
ig the answer is true
** Missing information: The vertical distance from surface of liquid to bottom of the object is sought in this question, with the condition that the object is at equilibrium **
Ans: The vertical distance = y = M/(ρA)
Explanation:Support the vertical distance = y
Object's density = M/(A*h) (since A*h = volume)
By applying the condition,
(M/(Ah))/ρ = y/h
M/(ρAh) = y/h
y = M/(ρA)
By equation of motion :

Now, it is given that it stops after 5 seconds of motion and time at that point is 12:00.
So, time when it started is 11 : 59 : 55.
Therefore, distance travelled is 10 m.
Hence, this is the required solution.
