A \(0.5 \mathrm{~kg}\) block of brass (density \(=8 \times 10^3 \mathrm{~kg} \mathrm{~m}^{-3}\) ) is suspended from a string. What is the tension in the string if the block is completely immersed in water? \(\left(g=10 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}\right)\)

  1. A \(5 \mathrm{~N}\)
  2. B \(\frac{0.5}{8 \times 10^3} \mathrm{~N}\)
  3. C \(\frac{5}{8} \mathrm{~N}\)
  4. D \(\frac{35}{8} \mathrm{~N}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{35}{8} \mathrm{~N}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Mass of block, \(m=0.5 \mathrm{~kg}\) Density, \(\rho=8 \times 10^3 \mathrm{~kg} \mathrm{~m}^{-3}\) Volume of block, \(V=\frac{m}{\rho}=\frac{0.5}{8 \times 10^3}=6.25 \times 10^{-5} \mathrm{~m}^3\) When block is fully immersed in water, then upthrust force on the block…
