उत्तर
P = Po + h ρ g
Here, P = Pressure exerted at a point in the liquid
Po = Atmospheric pressure
h = Depth of the point below the free surface
`ρ` = Density of the liquid
g = Acceleration due to gravity

Prove that the loss in weight of a body when immersed wholly or partially in a liquid is equal to the buoyant force (or upthrust) and this loss is because of the difference in pressure exerted by liquid on the upper and lower surfaces of the submerged part of body.
A body of mass 3.5 kg displaces 1000 cm3 of water when fully immersed inside it. Calculate:
- the volume of body,
- the upthrust on body and
- the apparent weight of body in water.
