A wooden block and a metal coin are connected by a string as shown in figure. Both have same volume and both are placed in a beaker of water. Now the beaker is given acceleration towards right, then the string will tilt towards

A

Right

B

No where

C

left

D

Either right or left

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
