Is the upthrust exerted by a liquid (such as water, oil or alcohol) related to what kind of liquid it is?

Open in App

Solution

Yes, the upthrust is the weight of liquid displaced , So it is directly proportional to density .
$F = V ρ_{l i q u i d} g$ , so we can see that upthrust depends on liquid density and hence depends on the kind of liquid.
