Question

The apparent weight of the floating body is zero.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A

True

When a body floats in a liquid, it experiences two forces on it, i.e, its weight acting downwards and the buoyant force exerted by liquid upwards.

Apparent weight is the difference between these two forces and during floating apparent weight is zero because both of the forces are equal which makes the net force equal to zero.
