A cubical block is floating in a liquid with one fourth of its volume immersed in the liquid. If whole of the system accelerates upward with acceleration $g / 4$, the fraction of volume immersed in the liquid will be ..........
A
$1 / 4$
B
$1 / 2$
C
$3 / 4$
D
$2 / 3$
Solution
(a)
Upward acceleration just causes the acceleration due to gravity increases by some value, but since the term of ' $g$ ' gets cancelled out in the buoyancy equation.
Volume immersed $\times \rho_w \times g=$ Total volume $\times \rho_{\text {gabe }} \times g$
So, increasing it will not have any effect on the immersed volume.
