The tension in the string is 36 N.

To find the answer, we need to know about pseudo acceleration.

<h3>What's pseudo acceleration?</h3>
  • When an object is placed on a vehicle, it experiences a pseudo acceleration in the opposite direction of the motion of the vehicle.
  • Magnitude of the pseudo acceleration is same as that of the acceleration of vehicle.
<h3>What's the pseudo acceleration of a mass suspended in a lift that's moving downward with an acceleration of 2.6 m/s²?</h3>
  • Here, the acceleration of the lift is 2.6m/s², so the mass suspended by a string inside it will feel a pseudo acceleration of 2.6m/s² upward.
  • So the effective acceleration of the mass = acceleration due to gravity - pseudo acceleration = 9.8 - 2.6 = 7.2 m/s²
<h3>What's the tension of the string suspending the mass?</h3>

Tension of the string= mass × effective acceleration

= 5 × 7.2 = 36 N

Thus, we can conclude that the tension in the string is 36 N.

vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

When light enters from air to water i.e. it is moving from rarer to denser medium, it changes its original path as there is a change of speed of light and deflects itself towards the normal. This is known as the refraction of light and this is why a pencil in a cup of water looks as if it is broken and larger.
