A body weighs 200 gf in air and 190 gf when completely immersed in water. Calculate:
(i) the loss in weight of the body in water.
(ii) the upthrust on the body.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Given: weight of the body in air =200 gf
Weight of the body in water =190 gf
(i) Loss in weight of the body =200gf-190gf
=10gf
(ii) Upthrust on the body =loss in weight
=10 gf.
