Question

If a body is immersed in water, it seems to have lost a part of its weight-explain.​

Answer 1

Answer:

According to Archimedes principle, the weight of water displaced is equal to the weight of immersed part.For a solid floating in a liquid, its weight acting vertically down at its centre of gravity is equal to the weight of the liquid displaced by the immersed part of the solid acting vertically up at its centre of buoyancy. In the floating condition, the apparent weight and the apparent density of the solid are zero and the body is said to be weightless.

Explanation:

Archimedes' principle states: An object immersed in a fluid experiences a buoyant force that is equal in magnitude to the force of gravity on the displaced fluid.
