Question 1

A cylinder of cross-sectional area A is suspended on a rope and lowered into a container filled with a fluid so that it is partially immersed in it to a depth hsub - Tension in the rope and depth submerged are recorded. Which of the following expressions correctly describes the slope of tension (T) vs submerged depth (hsub) plot? Note: A - cross-sectional area of a cylinder, g - acceleration due to gravity, Pfluid density of fluid
