Questions  

A piece of wood is taken deep inside a long column of water and released. It will reach up with

a
Constant upward acceleration
b
Decreasing upwards acceleration
c
Deceleration
d
Uniform velocity

detailed solution

Correct option is A

Piece of wood will start moving up with an acceleration ofa=gρ-σσ, where ρ is the density of water and σ is the density of wood. but as the velocity of wood increases, the viscous drag by the liquid will increase in the opposite direction. So its upward acceleration also decreases.
