A body experiences an upthrust $F_{1}$ in river water and $F_{2}$ in sea water when dipped up to the same level. Which is more $F_{1}$ or $F_{2}$ ? Give reason.

Solution

F₂> F₁; Sea water is denser than river water; therefore, the upthrust due to sea water will be greater than that due to river water at the same level. This shall make the body to appear lighter in the sea water
