Problem

A block of density 500 kg/m3500\,\text{kg/m}^{3} is tied to the bottom of a 5 m5\,\text{m} deep pool of water (density 1000 kg/m31000\,\text{kg/m}^{3}) using a string. The string suddenly cuts. Calculate the time taken for the block to reach the surface of the water from rest. Neglect viscosity. (Take g=10 m/s2g = 10\,\text{m/s}^{2}).
