Question

What is the effect of buoyancy on the weight of body?


Open in App
Solution

  1. When we submerge an object in a fluid, an upward force is experienced by the object.
  2. The fluid applies this force on the object, which reduces the net weight of the body acting downwards.
  3. This apparent weight will be less than the actual weight of the body.
