Question

If the reading of spring balance is 15N and 10N when solid is in air fully immersed in water respectively, find the upthrust and the weight of displaced water.

Open in App

Solution

We know that ,
upthrust = weight of solid in air - weight of solid in water=15N - 10N=5N.

Also weight of liquid displaced = apparent loss in weight of the solid immersed in water =5N
