To solve the problem of finding the fraction of a cubical block submerged in water when the block is in an elevator accelerating upward, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Forces Acting on the Block When the elevator accelerates upward with acceleration \( a \), the effective gravitational acceleration acting on the block becomes \( g + a \), where \( g \) is the acceleration due to gravity. ### Step 2: Write the Weight of the Block The weight of the block can be expressed as: \[ ...
