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 $=U{p t h r u s t}-Weight$
$=V(g+a)(d-\rho)$
