An object hanging from a spring balance weighs 50 N in air. When the object is loweredinto water, it is found to weigh 40 N. [ 3 point ]a) What is the upthrust on the object?b) What are the weight and mass of waterdisplaced?c) What is the density of the object?

Answer»

Answer:

Given,

Weight of the SPRING =0.1N

Spring reading in WATER =0.08N

Since Spring reading is reducing, it means Buoyant force =0.02N
