Impact Energy

An object of mass $"m"$ is dropped from a height $"$h$"$ into a floating rectangular tank of cross section $"A".$

The tank sinks by a distance $"$dI$"$ after impect and then rises to a level that is d$*$ below that before impact..

From an energy balance:

Impact Energy of the mass dropping into the tank is equal to the integration of the force of impact and the distance moved, $"$d$*".$ From energy conservation, this equals the potential energy.

so$,$

Impact Energy $=$ Fimpact x d$1$

Potential Energy $=mgh$

Please look at the rest of the problem on the image that is shown, thank you!
