Question

a metal ball weighs 2N in air and 1.5N when immersed completely in water . what is the magnitude of the buoyant force acting on it

Answer 1

given: weight in air = 2N
weight in water = 1.5N

buoyancy force will be 2N-1.5N =0.5N
ans:0.5N

Answer 2

Answer:

0.5 N

Explanation:

Actual weight or weight in air = Buoyant force + weight in water or apparent weight

2N= Buoyant force + 1.5 N

Buoyant force = 0.5N
