I am stuck in this question:
A loaded test tube of mass m is floating in a fluid. The test tube has a cross-sectional area A and fluid has density p.
Comment on the feasibility of using the frequecy of oscillation of the tube to measure the density of the fluid.
I would say this is feasible because although there is damping due to resistance of the fluid, the frequency is the same because the motion is simple harmonic, is this correct?
Thanks.
