If your weight is 300 N what is the upthrust on you when you are floating in water

600N

To determine the upthrust on an object floating in water, you can use Archimedes' principle. According to Archimedes' principle, the upthrust (also known as buoyant force) acting on an object submerged in a fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object.

In this case, your weight is given as 300 N. To find the upthrust, we need to determine the weight of the water displaced by your body when floating.

To calculate this, we need to know the density of water. The density of water is approximately 1000 kg/m³ or 1000 kg per cubic meter.

To find the volume of water displaced by your body, we can divide your weight (300 N) by the density of water (1000 kg/m³) and consider the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s²).

Let's calculate it step by step:

1. Convert the weight from newtons (N) to kilograms (kg) using the formula: weight (kg) = weight (N) / 9.8 m/s².
weight (kg) = 300 N / 9.8 m/s² = 30.61 kg (approx.)

2. To find the volume of water displaced, we can use the formula: volume (m³) = weight (kg) / density of water (kg/m³).
volume (m³) = 30.61 kg / 1000 kg/m³ = 0.03061 m³ (approx.)

3. Finally, the upthrust is equal to the weight of the water displaced, which we can calculate using the formula: upthrust (N) = volume (m³) * density of water (kg/m³) * acceleration due to gravity (m/s²).
upthrust (N) = 0.03061 m³ * 1000 kg/m³ * 9.8 m/s² = 300 N (approx.)

Therefore, the upthrust on you when you are floating in water and have a weight of 300 N is approximately 300 N.
