A wooden piece floats half submerged in a tub of water. If the system is transferred to a lift ascending with acceleration the wooden piece will
A
Sink a little more
B
Rise a little
C
Remain half submerged
D
Sink to the bottom
Medium

C
Remain half submerged
c As the system will move with an acceleration, $a$ then psuedo force will cause same acceleration, $a$ to both the water and block so no extra force by the block will be applied to water so no more submerging.
So option $\mathrm{C}$ is correct.

Two tubes of radii $r_1$ and $r_2$, and lengths $l_1$ and $l_2$, respectively, are connected in series and a liquid flows through each of them in streamline conditions. $P_1$ and $P_2$ are pressure differences across the two tubes. If $P_2$ is $4P_1$ and $l_2$ is $ \frac{l_1}{4}$ , then the radius $r_2$ will be equal to
Water from a tap emerges vertically downwards with an initial speed of $1.0\,ms^{-1}.$ The cross-sectional area of the tap is $10^{-4}\,m^2.$ Assume that the pressure is constant throughout the stream of water and that flow is streamlined. The cross-sectional area of the stream, $0.15\,m$ below the tap would be: (take $g = 10\,ms^{-2}$ )
An object is located at $2\, km$ beneath the surface of the water. If the fractional compression $\frac{\Delta V }{ V }$ is $1.36\, \%,$ the ratio of hydraulic stress to the corresponding hydraulic strain will be ......... . [Given : density of water is $1000\, kg m ^{-3}$ and $\left. g =9.8 \,ms ^{-2} .\right]$
A jar is filled with two non-mixing liquids $1$ and $2$ having densities $\rho_1$ and, $\rho_2$ respectively. A solid ball, made of a material of density $\rho_3$ , is dropped in the jar. It comes to equilibrium in the position shown in the figure.Which of the following is true for $\rho_1 , \rho_2$ and $\rho_3$?
A cube of external dimension $10\ cm$ has an inner cubical portion of side $5\ cm$ whose density is twice that of the outer portion. If this cube is just floating in a liquid of density $2\ g/cm^3$, find the density of the inner portion
Pressure applied to an enclosed fluid is transmitted undiminished to every portion of the fluid and the walls of the containing vessel. This law was first formulated by
An incompressible fluid flows steadily through a cylindrical pipe which has radius $2r$ at point $A $ and radius $r $ at $B $ further along the flow direction. If the velocity at point $A$ is $v, $ its velocity at point $B$ is
