As the buoyant force balances the weight of the object.
Thus, there is no motion of the object in the vertical direction.
Whereas, the force acting on the object towards the right is more than the drag force.
Thus, the net force acting on the object along the horizontal direction is,
[tex]F_{net}=F_T-F_{drag}[/tex]
Substituting the known values,
[tex]\begin{gathered} F_{\text{net}}=35-10 \\ F_{\text{net}}=25N_{} \end{gathered}[/tex]
According to Newton's second law, the net force acting on the object in terms of the acceleration of the object is,
[tex]F_{\text{net}}=ma[/tex]
where m is the mass, and a is the acceleration,
Substituting the known values,
[tex]\begin{gathered} 25=10\times a \\ a=\frac{25}{10} \\ a=2.5ms^{-2} \end{gathered}[/tex]
Thus, the acceleration of the object is 2.5 meters per second.
