Solution

archimedes principle states that the upward buoyant force exerted on the body immersed in the liquid either submerged partially or fully is equal to the weight of the fluid that body displaces and acts in the upward direction at the center of the mass to the displaced fluid

given w=0.02gN
v=wdg=1.02×105
B=vqg=0.0102
apparent weight=wB=0.020.0102=0.0098
