A wooden block of mass 1 kg and density 800 kg m - 3 is held stationary, with the help of a string, in a container filled with water of density 1000 kg m - 3, as shown in the figure. If the container is moved upwards with an acceleration of 2 m s - 2 , then the tension in the string will be ( take g = 10 m s - 2 )
Options
- A2   N
- B3 N
- C5   N
- D6   N
Correct answer
B. 3 N
Step-by-step solution
W ′ = m ( g + a ) = 1 × 12 = 12 N B ′ = ρ l × v × ( g + a ) = 1000 × 1 800 × ( 12 ) = 15 N ∴ T = B ′ – W ′ = 15 – 12 = 3 N
