Question

A stone of relative density k is released from rest on the surface of a lake. If viscous effects are ignored, the stone sinks in water with an acceleration of 

Solution

Correct option is

 

If m is the mass of the stone and V its volume, the weight of the water displaced by it =  is the density of water. Therefore, . Thus, the buoyant force acting upwards is mg/kwhereas the weight mg of the stone acts vertically downwards. Therefore, the net force in the downward direction . If is the acceleration of the sinking stone, then
