BuoyancyMediumQuestion 6427

Question

A 5 kg object (volume 2000 cm³) is fully submerged in water (ρ=1000 kg/m³, g=10 m/s²). Apparent weight:
  1. A
    30 N
    Correct
  2. B
    50 N
  3. C
    20 N
  4. D
    10 N

Correct answer

30 N

Explanation

Buoyant force = ρ_water×V×g = 1000×0.002×10 = 20 N. Apparent W = 50−20 = 30 N.
