A small sealed container of mass

0.80\,\text{kg}

and volume

1.00\times10^{-3}\,\text{m}^3

is released from rest while fully submerged in water. What is the magnitude and direction of its initial acceleration? (Use

g = 9.8\,\text{m/s}^2

and water density

1.0\times10^{3}\,\text{kg/m}^3

.) (a)

9.8\,\text{m/s}^2

upward (b)

2.5\,\text{m/s}^2

upward (c)

2.5\,\text{m/s}^2

downward (d)

2.0\,\text{m/s}^2
