An object of weight 10N immersed in a liquid displaces a quantity of the liquid. If the liquid displaces weight 6N. Determine the upthrust on the object
To determine the upthrust on the object, we need to understand the concept of Archimedes' principle, which states that the upthrust or buoyant force on an object submerged in a fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object.
In this case, the weight of the fluid displaced by the object is given as 6N. According to Archimedes' principle, the upthrust on the object will also be 6N, as it is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced.
Therefore, the upthrust on the object is 6N.
