(ii) The loss in weight of the body, and
(iii) The upthrust on the body.
State the assumption made in part (i).

उत्तर
Weight of body in air = 450 gf
Weight of body in water = 310 gf
(i) Volume of the body = Loss in weight × density of water
= (450 - 310) × 1 [Assumption : density of water = `1 "g cm"^-3`]
= 140 `"cm"^3`
(ii) Loss in weight = Weight of body in air - Weight of body water
= (450 - 310) gf
= 140 gf
(iii) Upthrust on body = loss in weight = 140 gf
