Q4 of 16 Page 25

A body of weight 1000 N sinks in water. The weight of the liquid overflowed is 250 N.

What will be the weight of the body in water?

Given;

Weight of liquid overflowed = Weight of water displaced by the body


= Buoyant force


= 250 N


Weight in air = 1000 N


Weight of the body in water = Weight in air- Buoyant force


= 1000 N-250 N


= 750 N
