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.

उत्तर
Mass of body = 3.5 kg
Weight of the body = 3.5 kgf
Volume of water displaced when body is fully immersed = 1000 cm3
(i) Volume of body when fully immersed in liquid = Volume of water displaced
∴ Volume of body = 1000 cm3 or 0.001 m3
(ii) Upthrust on body = Volume of body × Density of water × g
= 0.001 × 1000 × g
= 1 kgf
(iii) Apparent weight = True weight - Upthrust
= 3.5 - 1
= 2.5 kgf
