A wooden cube of length `l` and density a floats in a liquid of density `p (gt a)`. If the liquid moves with an acceleration in steady state, find the a. net hydrostatic force acting on the cube b. angle of inclination of the cub with horizontal.

Answer

`a/g`

Explanation

`F=N=mgcostheta`

where `costheta=g/(sqrt(g^(2)+a^(2)))` or `T=(mg^(2))/sqrt((g^(2)+a^(2)))`
b. `tantheta=a/g` or `theta=tan^(-1)a/g`
