A cylindrical block is floating (partially submerged) in a vessel containing water. Initially, the platform on which the vessel is mounted is at rest. Now the platform along with the vessel is allowed to fall freely under gravity. As a result, the buoyancy force

A

becomes zero

B

decreases

C

increases

D

information is insufficient

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
As the vessel is falling freely, the pressure at all the points in the liqids is same and equal to the atmospheric pressure and hence buoyancy becmes zero.

A small object is placed at the centre of the bottom of a cylindrical vessel of radius 3 cm and height 4 cm filled completely with water. Consider the ray leaving the vessel through a corner. Suppose this ray and the ray along the axis of the vessel are used to trace the image. Find the apparent depth of the image and the ratio of real depth to the apparent depth under the assumptions taken. Refractive index -of water = 1-33.

10 mole of liquid 'A' and 20 mole of liquid 'B' is mixed in a cylindrical vessel containing a piston arrangement. Initially a pressure of 2 atm is maintained on the solution. Now, the piston is raised slowely and isothermally. Assume ideal behaviour of solution and A and B are completely miscible. P_(A)^(@) = 0.6 atm and P_(B)^(@) = 0.9 atm The pressure below which the evaporation of liquid solution will start, is

A buoy is held inside water contained in a vessel by tying it with a thread to the base of the vessel. Name the three forces that keep the buoy in equilibrium and state the direction in which each force acts.

Buoyant force on an object completely immersed in a fluid does not depend on the density of the object. It would only depend on the weight of liquid displaced. If the vessel in which an object is immersed is accelerated then the pseudo force acting on the object in the frame of the vessel depends on the mass of the object. The direction of motion of an object relative to a vessel can be found by finding the resultant of buoyant force, the pseudo force, the gravitational force and any other force acting on the body. If in the previous problem the beaker was given a rightward acceleration then relative to the beaker the block will have a tendency to move :
