A body of weight W and density `rho` floats on liquid . What will its apparent weight ?

`W(rho-rho_(1))`

`(rho-rho_(1))/(W)`

`W(rho_(1)-rho)`

`W(1-(rho_(1))/(rho))`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:

Apparent weight ={Weight of body in air}-{upward force on body}
`=W-m_(1)g`
`=rhoV_(g)-rho_(1)Vg" " (becauseW=rhoVgandm_(1)=rho_(1)V)`
`=rhoVg(1-(rho_(1))/(rho))`
`=W(1-(rho_(1))/(rho))`
