Question

What is is the net force acting on a body in the following cases:
(i) if the body sinks?
(ii) if the body floats?

Answer 1

Answer:

Net force is the vector sum of forces acting on a particle or body. The net force is a single force that replaces the effect of the original forces on the particle's motion. It gives the particle the same acceleration as all those actual forces together as described by Newton's second law of motion.
