Question

Explain why it is easier to lift a stone under water than in air​

Answer 1

Answer:

It is easier to lift a heavy stone under water than in air because in water, it experiences an upward buoyant force which balances the actual weight of the stone acting downwards. Thus, due to upthrust there is an apparent loss in the weight of the heavy stone, which makes it lighter in water, and hence easy to lift.

Explanation - :

When a stone is under water then its weight is less than its weight in air as it is under action of buoyant force. Hence it is easier to lift it under water.

Answer 2

Answer:

under air as air is lighter than water so it take less force where as water will try to sink the stone
