Answer:
The tension in the rope is 20 N
Solution:
As per the question:
Mass of the object, M = 2 kg
Density of water,
Density of the object,
Acceleration due to gravity, g =
Now,
From the fig.1:
'N' represents the Bouyant force and T represents tension in the rope.
Suppose, the volume of the block be V:
V = (1)
Also, we know that Bouyant force is given by:
Using eqn (1):
From the fig.1:
N = Mg + T
40 = 2(10) + T
T = 40 - 20 = 20 N
