A block of wood floats in a bucket of water in a lift. Will the block sink more of less if the lift starts ac celerating up ?

Explanation

To determine whether the block of wood will sink more or less when the lift accelerates upwards, we can analyze the forces acting on the block of wood in the water.

### Step-by-Step Solution:

1. **Identify the Forces Acting on the Block**:
- The block of wood experiences two main forces:
- The gravitational force (weight) acting downwards, which is given by \( W = mg \) (where \( m \) is the mass of the block and \( g \) is the acceleration due to gravity).
- The buoyant force acting upwards, which is equal to the weight of the water displaced by the submerged part of the block.
