A rock with mass m = 3.10 kg 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 of the bucket.
Here is the part that I am stuck on:
Derive an expression for the tension in the cord when the elevator is accelerating upward with an acceleration of magnitude a .
I have concluded that
Tension=m(g-a)-1000V(g-a)
Or force of the body-force of the water displaced but it is incorrect.
