Open in App
Solution

  1. The apparent weight of a body floating in liquid is always zero.
  2. If the weight of the body is equal to the upthrust, the body will remain in equilibrium anywhere inside the liquid.
  3. In this case, the apparent weight of the body inside the liquid will become zero. The body will apparently become weightless.

Hence, the apparent weight of the body that just floats when fully immersed in a liquid is zero.
