Q.1 A solid block of volume V=10-3m3 and density d=800kg/m3 is tied to one end of a string, the other end of which is tied to the bottom of the vessel. The vessel contains 2 immiscible liquids of densities 1 =1000kg/m3 and 2 =1500kg/m3 . The solid block is immersed with 2/5th of its volume in the liquid of higher density & 3/5th in the liquid of lower density. The vessel is placed in an elevator which is moving up with an acceleration of a=g/2. Find the tension in the string. [g=10m/s2 ]
