प्रश्न
A balloon filled with helium gas floats in a big closed jar which is connected to an evacuating pump. What will be your observation, if air from the jar is pumped out? Explain your answer.

उत्तर
Observation : The balloon will sink.
Explanation : As air is pumped out from jar, the density of air in jar decreases, so the upthrust on balloon decreases. As weight of balloon exceeds the upthrust on it, it sinks.

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.
