Question

If the thread snaps, calculate the acceleration of sphere (in $m / s^{2}$ ) with respect to the tank.[Density of water $= 1000 k g / m^{3}, g = 10 m / s^{2}$ ]

Open in App

Solution

If the thread snaps, the forces acting on the sphere are
$m g$ downwards,
$V d g$ upwards
pseudo force $m a$ downwards
Hence acceleration of sphere upwards= $a^{'} = \frac{1}{m} (V d g - m g - m a)$
$= 8 m / s^{2}$
