A body having volume $V$ and density $\rho$ is attached to the bottom of a container as shown. Density of the liquid is $d( > \rho )$. Container has a constant upward acceleration $a.$ Tension in the string is

A

$V[D_g - \rho (g+a)]$

B

$V(g+a) (d - \rho )$

C

$V (d - \rho ) g$

D

none

Solution

Note that the acceleration has an effect on both upthrust and weight

Weight experienced by the mass $=\rho V(g+a)$

Upthrust experienced by the mass $=d V(g+a)$

Tension experienced by the string $=U{p t h r u s t}-Weight$

$=V(g+a)(d-\rho)$
