Answer 1

Answer:

When a stone of 200gwt is completely immersed in water, 50gwt of water is displaced.

To find:

Weight of stone in water.

Calculation:

Archimedes Principle states that whenever an object is immersed in a fluid and displaces a certain weight of fluid, it will experience the same magnitude of upward buoyant force.

So, in this case buoyant force is 50 gwt.

So, net weight of stone in water is :

So, weight of stone in water is 50 gwt.
