The density of a body is 5 times10 3kgm -3 and ... - WAEC Physics 1994 Question
The density of a body is \(5\times10^3kgm{^-3}\) and it weighs 1N in air. Calculate the apparent weight of the body when totally immersed in water. (Density of water =\(10^3kgm{-3}, g= 10ms^{-2}
A
0.02N
B
0.08N
C
0.20N
D
0.80N
correct option: d
Upthrust = weight of the water displaced =pvg= 1000 x 2 x \(10^{-5}\)=0.20N \ Apparent weight = weight in air – upthrust = 1-0.2N=0.8N
