Question

what is the weight of a floating body​

Answer 1

Explanation:

An object will float if the buoyancy force exerted on it by the fluid balances its weight, i.e. if FB=mg F B = mg . But the Archimedes principle states that the buoyant force is the weight of the fluid displaced. So, for a floating object on a liquid, the weight of the displaced liquid is the weight of the object.

Answer 2

Explanation:

The apparent weight of the body is equals to (the original total weight of body) - (weight of the water displaced by the body).
