Answer:
0 g.
Explanation:
Given that the weight of the wood in the air is 100 g.
When the wood is floating in the water, an upthrust will act on the wood which is equal to the weight of the water displaced by the wood.
Assuming, the wood is floating in the water in such a way that the whole of its volume is inside the water.
In that case, the weight of the water displaced by the wood will be same as that of the floating wood.
Thus, Apparent weight of the wood in water = Weight of the wood in the air - Upthrust by the water = 0 g.
