Question

A body of weight W, experiences an upthrust R in water. What will be the apparent weight of the body and apparent density of the body when W>R?

• A. Apparent weight = W - R; Apparent density = (p - 1)gcm^-3
• B. Apparent weight = W - R; Apparent density = (1000 - p)kgm^-3
• C. Apparent weight = Zero; Apparent density = Zero
• D. Apparent weight = R - W; Apparent density = (1 - p)gcm^-3

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Apparent weight = W - R; Apparent density = (p - 1)gcm^-3

The apparent weight will be (W - R) and the apparent density will be (p - 1) gcm^-3
