A body of weight $10 N$ floats in water then find the force of buoyancy acting on the body.

Open in App

Solution

Any object or mass will only float on a liquid or water if the buoyancy force acting on it by the liquid is equal to its weight.
Since the body mentioned here is floating in the water. So the force of buoyancy will be $10 N$ which is equal to its body weight.
Hence, the force of buoyancy acting on the body is $10 N$ .
