a body weighs 200N in air and 120N .when completely immersed in an overflow jar filled with water till its spout what is the buoyancy on the body |

Answer» Answer: SPECIFIC gravity is WEIGHT of the item (in air) / Weight of water displaced when the item is placed in water = the weight in air/(weight in air - weight in water) 200N/(200N - 120N) = 200N/80N = 100/40 = 10/4 = 5/2 = 2.5 (which incidentally is quite possible for a stone. The person who ASKED the question came up with reasonably realistic numbers). |
