Consider a spongy block of mass $m$ floating on a flowing river. The maximum mass of the block is related to the speed of the river flow $v$, acceleration due to gravity $g$, and the density of the block $\rho$ such that $m_{\max} = k v^x g^y \rho^z$ ($k$ is a constant). The values of $x, y$, and $z$ should then respectively be:
(Mass of the spongy block is assumed to vary due to absorption of water by it)

  • A
    $6, 3, 2$
  • B
    $6, -3, 1$
  • C
    $3, 6, 1$
  • D
    $6, 1, 3$
