A solid object of volume is completely immersed in water of density . What is the magnitude of the upthrust exerted on the object by the water? [Take ]
Cevap: 20 N
Cevap
The magnitude of the upthrust exerted on the object is .
According to Archimedes' principle, any body completely or partially submerged in a fluid experiences an upward force (upthrust) equal to the weight of the fluid displaced. The weight of the displaced fluid is calculated using . Substituting , , and yields .
