The force required by a man to move his ...

The force required by a man to move his limgs immersed in water is smaller than the force for the same movement in air.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The upthrust on the limbs of a man is more when immersed in water than in air. As a result of it, the effective weight of lims of a man is less in water than in air. Hence the force required to move his limbs is less in water than that in air.
