Answer to Question #330411 in Mechanics | Relativity for riki

Question

The tension in a string holding a solid block below the surface of a liquid (of density

greater than the block) is T0 when the container is at rest. When the container is given an upward acceleration of 0.250g, what multiple of T0 gives the tension in the string?

Answer 1

$T=\frac{g+a}g T_0=1.25T_0.$
