Question

Prove that apparent weight of the floating body is zero.​

Answer 1

Answer:

When an object is immersed in a fluid, the object experiences buoyant force in upward direction and weight of object in downward direction. so, the apparent weight of the floating block is equal to zero because the weight of the block acting vertically downwards is balanced by buoyant force acting upwards

Explanation:

Apparent weight is equal to weight of body minus weight of liquid

Since the body is floating both are equal and hence apparent weight becomes zero
