THEORY
According to Archimedes’ principle, when a body is immersed in a liquid, completely or partially, it loses its weight. The loss in weight is equal to the weight of liquid displaced by the body.
The loss in weight of a body is due to the presence of upthrust which is equal to the weight of liquid displaced. Thus,
Loss in weight = Weight of body in air – Weight of body immersed in water
=W – W1
= Upthrust in water on the body
= Weight of liquid displaced.
