Question #18294
a body of mass 60kg and density 800kg/m3 is immersed in water. calculate upthrust acting on the body.
Expert's answer
The volume of the body is
V = 60[kg]/800[kg/m³] = 0.075[m³].
Therefore, upthrust acting on the body is
F = 1000[kg/m³]*9.8[m/s²]*0.075[m³] = 735[N].
V = 60[kg]/800[kg/m³] = 0.075[m³].
Therefore, upthrust acting on the body is
F = 1000[kg/m³]*9.8[m/s²]*0.075[m³] = 735[N].
