A wooden block is floating on water kept in a beaker. 40% of the block is above the water surface. Now the beaker is kept inside a lift that starts going upward with acceleration equal to g/2. The block will then

A

sink

B

float with 10% above the water surface

C

float with 40% above the water surface

D

float with 70% above the water surface

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Weight of the body and the buoyancy of the liquid both depend on the effective acceleration. Hence there will be no change in the floating portion of the block.
