A block of mass 1 kg and density 0.8 g/cm3 is held stationary with the help of a string as shown in figure. The tank is filled with water such that the block is completely submerged in water. The tank is accelerating vertically upwards with an acceleration a=1.0 m/s2. Find the tension in the string.
Why this Q? In case of a container containing fluid is accelerating in vertical direction, Upthrust force= (volume of liquid displaced)X(density of liquid)X(effective gravity) |
