This is a question I made up for a math research paper. Please tell me what you think about it, I'm not asking anyone to do any math or physics, just comment.
A waterproof cube with edges of length d is completely submerged in liquid-2 of density ρ2 in a cube-shaped room with lengths of k ∙ d (where k is a positive constant) that is filled with liquid-2. The cube lies on the bottom surface of the room, which has a coefficient of kinetic friction of uk with the cube. The cube is sent sliding across the room in linear motion by unidentified means with a momentum p while carrying an unknown amount of liquid-1, which has density ρ1. If liquid-2 flows in the direction opposite the cube’s motion, what is the maximum amount of liquid-1 that the cube can carry and still travel the distance kd to the other side of the room? The gravitational acceleration constant is g. Ignore any effects of viscosity.
