Question

Find the acceleration of the 500 g block in fio
100 g
500g
300​

Answer 1

SOLUTION

Let the relative density of the block be and that of the liquid be

Density of water be

Density of metal is and density of liquid is

Let the volume of the block be

Weight of the block in air is

Weight of the block in water is

Weight of the block in the liquid is

Thus, dividing by , we get

We know that density of water is and acceleration due to gravity

Therefore
