A cubical block is floating in a liquid ...

A cubical block is floating in a liquid with half of its volume immersed in the liquid. When the whole system accelerates upwards with acceleration of `g//3`, the fraction of volume immersed in the liquid will be

A

`1/2`

B

`3/8`

C

`2/3`

D

`3/4`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Fraction of volume immersed in the liquid `V_(m) = ((rho)/(sigma))V` ie., it depends upon the densities of the block and liquid. So there will be no change in it if system moves upward or downward with constant velocity or some acceleration.
