Answer:

see from this analysis, the apparent weight of the body is lower due to the push created by the air brujuleas

Step-by-step explanation:

We will propose this exercise using Archimedes' principle, which establishes that the thrust on a body is equal to the volume of the desalted liquid.

B = ρ g V

The weight of a submerged body is the net force between the weight and the thrust

F_net = W - B

we can write the weight as a function of the density

ρ_body = m / V

m = ρ_body V

W = mg

W = ρ _body g V

we substitute

F_net= ( ρ_body - ρ _fluid) g V

In general this force is directed downwards, we can call this value the apparent weight of the body. This is the weight of the submerged body.

W_aparente = ( ρ_body - ρ _fluid) g V

If some air bubbles formed in this body, the net force of these bubbles is

F_net ’= #_bubbles ( ρ_fluido - ρ_air) g V’

this force is directed upwards

whereby the measured force is

F = W_aparente - F_air

As we can see from this analysis, the apparent weight of the body is lower due to the push created by the air brujuleas
