The mass of a block made of certain material is 13.5 kg and its volume is `15 xx 10^(-3) m^3`.
Calculate upthrust on the block if it is held fully immersed in water.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
a. 15 kgf. B. The block will float since upthrust on it when fully immersed in water, is more than its weight. C. While floating, upthrust =13.5 kgf.
