A sphere of density d is allowed to fall in a liquid of density d/4. The acceleration of the body will be:
Now,Force downward=mg=VdgNet force upward=Vdg4So,Net force dowanward=34Vdg=ma34Vdg=Vdaa=3g4
A solid cylinder of height h and mass m floats in a liquid of density ρ as shown in Fig. Now the cylinder is released inside a liquid of density ρ4, contained in a downward accelerated vessel. Determine the magnitude of acceleration of vessel(A), for which cylinder sinks with relative acceleration A3 with respect to vessel. Neglect any dissipative force:
