A boy's weight is 500 N. What upthrust does he need to float?

Idk but i think it is 5

To determine the upthrust required for the boy to float, we need to consider the concept of buoyancy.

Buoyancy is the upward force exerted by a fluid (such as water) on an object immersed or partially immersed in it. It is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object.

The weight of an object is the force with which it is pulled downward due to gravity. In this case, the boy's weight is given as 500 N.

To float, the boy needs an upthrust equal to or greater than his weight. This ensures that the buoyant force is greater than or equal to the gravitational force pulling him downward.

Therefore, the upthrust required for the boy to float should be at least 500 N.
