A body floats in a liquid contained in a beaker. The whole system shown in figure is falling under gravity, the upthrust on the body due to the liquid is

A

zero

B

equal to weight of the body in air

C

equal to weight of liquid displaced

D

equal to the weight of the immersed part of the body

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
