BuoyancyEasyQuestion 6448

Question

Reading of spring balance for object in liquid is the:
  1. A
    True weight
  2. B
    Apparent weight (= W − buoyancy)
    Correct
  3. C
    Buoyancy only
  4. D
    Twice the true weight

Correct answer

Apparent weight (= W − buoyancy)

Explanation

Spring balance in liquid reads apparent weight = True weight − Buoyant force.
