The downward velocity of the stone \(t \mathrm {~s}\) after leaving \(A\) is \(v \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\). The stone hits the surface of the liquid with velocity \(7 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\) when \(t = 0.7\). It reaches the bottom of the container with velocity \(5 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\) when \(t = 1.2\).
  1. Find
    (a) the height of \(A\) above the surface of the liquid,
    (b) the depth of liquid in the container.
  2. Find the deceleration of the stone while it is moving in the liquid.
  3. Given that the resistance to motion of the stone while it is moving in the liquid has magnitude 0.7 N , find the mass of the stone.
