Question

Which of the following represents the apparent weight of a body placed in water, given its true weight is 50 g and it experiences an upthrust of 10g?

A) 40 g
B) 50 g
C) 60 g
D) 10 g

Answer 1

The apparent weight of the body placed in water would be 40 g.

Step-by-step explanation:

The apparent weight of a body placed in water can be calculated by subtracting the upthrust force from the true weight of the body. In this case, the body has a true weight of 50 g and experiences an upthrust of 10 g. So the apparent weight of the body in water would be 50 g - 10 g = 40 g.
