The figures below shows a rectangular body of mass 4000kg tethered to the scale by a wire. The dimensions are 4m*1.5m*2.2m. Calculate the :upward force exerted on the body by the water... Tension in the wire
The upward force exerted on the body by the water is equal to the weight of the body, which is equal to the mass of the body multiplied by the acceleration due to gravity. Therefore, the upward force exerted on the body by the water is:
F = 4000 kg * 9.8 m/s2 = 39,200 N
The tension in the wire is equal to the upward force exerted on the body by the water, which is 39,200 N.
