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
Given, Weight of an object in air = 10N
Weight of an object in water = 8N
So, the weight of the liquid displaced by the object F = 10 - 8 = 2N and we know that according to Archimedes' Principle, buoyancy force = weight of the liquid displaced by the body.
