AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on calculating the speed at which an object of high density, introduced into a lower density liquid layer, will ascend to a higher density layer. Key factors include gravitational force, buoyancy, viscosity, and the coefficient of drag, as these influence the dynamics of the object's movement. The query seeks a formula to quantify the ascent speed of the object through the different liquid layers. Understanding these principles is crucial for accurate calculations in fluid dynamics. The response emphasizes the importance of considering both buoyant and drag forces in this scenario.

Hi All,
Iam doing a post graduate science student from india, , I have a query regarding the density of a object (liquid).

My query is,

Let say if I have three layers from ground level each has different density as mentioned below,
(Layer 1 (high density hence below), Layer 2(2nd highest) and Layer 3 (lowest) . consider Layer 1 has 10 meter of height, layer 2 has 10 meters of height

suddenly i introduce a object of layer 1 density in layer 3, As per the theory the introduce layer one object should go up to layer 1.
Iam not able to calculate the how much faster the introduced object will reach layer 1?

Is there any formulae to calculate this ?
Thanks in Advance.
Looking forward for your reply.

In addition to determining the forces mg and buoyancy, one needs the viscosity and/or coefficient of drag since this is a dynamics problem.
 
So I know that electrons are fundamental, there's no 'material' that makes them up, it's like talking about a colour itself rather than a car or a flower. Now protons and neutrons and quarks and whatever other stuff is there fundamentally, I want someone to kind of teach me these, I have a lot of questions that books might not give the answer in the way I understand. Thanks
