Apiece of cork (density 250 kg/m3 ) of mass 0.01 kg is held in place under water (density 1000 kg/m3 ) by a string. what is the tension, t, in the string? [use g = 10 m/s2 ]

Tension = 0.3 N

Explanation:

As we know that the cork is inside water

so the buoyancy force on the cork is counter balanced by tension force in string and weight of the block

So the force equation is given as

now we will have

now buoyancy force on the block is given by

now by force balance equation

show the diagram then i will answer
