A vessel contains two immiscible liquids of density ρ₁=1000 kg/m³ and ρ₂=1500 kg/m³. A solid block of volume V=10⁻³ m³ and density d=800 kg/m³ is tied to one end of a string and the other is tied to the bottom of the vessel as shown in fig. The block is immersed with 2/5th of its volume in the liquid of higher density and 3/5th in the liquid of lower density. The entire system is kept in an elevator which is moving upwards with an acceleration of a=g/2. Find the tension (in newtons) in the string. (g=10 m/s²)
