A rock with mass m is suspended from the roof of an elevator by a light cord. The rock is totally immersed in a bucket of water that sits on the floor of the elevator, but the rock doesn’t touch the bottom or sides oft he bucket.
A) When the elevator is at rest, the tension in the cordis T. Calculate the volume of the rock.
B) Derive an expression for the tension in the cord when the elevator is accelerating upward with an acceleration of magnitude a.

James is trying to prove newton's 2nd law of motion. he tries to move four different objects with different masses, shapes, and sizes from point a to point b. the objects are a toy car, a car, a refrigerator, and a kitchen table. after some experimentation, he finds that force is dependent on the mass of the object, rather than it's size or shape. the object that takes the most force to move is the
