A rectangular block of wood of density 8...

A rectangular block of wood of density `800kgm^(-3)` having a mass of 2 kg is pushed in to water so that it is completely submerged and then released. Neglecting viscous forces, the initial acceleration of the block will be `(g=10(m)/(s^(2)))`

A

`1.25(m)/(s^(2))` downward

B

`2.5(m)/(s^(2))` upwards

C

`1.25(m)/(s^(2))` upward

D

`2.5(m)/(s^(2))` downward

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`a_("net")=("force of buoyancy-weight of wooden block")/("mass of the body")`
`a=(F_(b)-W)/(m)=(Vd_(W)-Vd_(B)g)/(Vd_(B))`
