A cork of mass 10g is floating on water....

A cork of mass 10g is floating on water. The net force acting on the cork is

A

10N

B

`10^(-3)N`

C

`10^(-2)N`

D

zero

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
When the cork is floating, its weight is balanced by the upthrust. Therefore, net force on the cork is zero.
