A container partially filled with water ...

A container partially filled with water is moved horizontally with acceleration `alpha=(g)/(3)`. A small wooden block of mass m is tied to the bottom of the container using a string. The block remains inside. Water with the string inclined at an angle `theta` to the horizontal. Assuming that the density of wood is half the density of water, fnd the angle `theta` and the tension inthe string.

Text Solution
