The correct answer is:
Given that the density of the cone is half of the density of the water. If the height of the cone that is immersed in water at equilibrium is , then for floating
Now
If the cone is displaced by downward, extra force due to buoyancy on the cone will be,
The mass of the cone is
Therefore, the frequency of the SHM will be,
