The tension in a string holding a solid block below the surface of a liquid (where ρliquid > ρblock) as in shown in the figure is T when the system is at rest.
 
Then what will be the tension in the string if the system has upward acceleration a?
  1. \(\mathrm{T}\left(1-\frac{\mathrm{a}}{\mathrm{~g}}\right)\)
  2. \(\mathrm{T}\left(1+\frac{\mathrm{a}}{\mathrm{~g}}\right)\)
  3. \(\mathrm{T}\left(\frac{\mathrm{a}}{\mathrm{~g}}-1\right)\)
  4. \(\frac{\mathrm{a}}{\mathrm{~g}} \mathrm{~T}\)

Answer

(B) T (1+ a ~g )
