An object weighs 10 N in air. When immessed fully in liquid, it weighs only 8 N. The weight of the liquid displaced by the object will be:

A

2N

B

8N

C

10N

D

12N

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Weight of the liquid displaced by the object`=`weight of the object in air`-`weight of the object in liquid `=10N-8N=2N`
