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 liquid
displaced.

C

Equal to weight of the body in air.

D

Equal to weight of the immersed body.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
As system is falling freely under
gravity, hence effective value of
acceleration of the system is zero.
Hence, upthrust on the body due to
liquid is also zero.
