The weight of the
cylinder must be balanced by buoyancy force in upward
direction.
ρ′Ahg=ρA34hg⇒ρ′=34ρ
Now
assume vessel is moving upward with an acceleration of a1m/s2.
Given the relative acceleration arel of
cylinder is 1/3rd of vessel in downward direction.
applying pseudo
force ma1 in downward direction
Writing
equation of motion for cylinder
mg+ma1−B1=macylinder...(i)
where B1=(P2−P1)A
and acylinder=a13
mg+ma1−(P2−P1)A=ma13...(ii)
now taking an imaginary cylinder of
water mass having same dimensions of cylinder
writing
equation of motion for imaginary cylinder
B2−mliquidg=mliquida1...(iii) where
B2=(P2−P1)A
(P2−P1)A−mliquidg=mliquida1
Substituting value of (P2−P1)A in
equation
(ii)
mg+ma1−mliquid(g+a1)=ma13...(iv)
The
ratio mmliquid=ρ′AhgρAhg=34 substituting this value in equation
(iv)
34g+34a1−(g+a1)=34a13...(v)
a12=−g4=−5m/s2
i.e. the cylinder should move in downward direction with
acceleration of 5m/s2
