Question

When dipped in a fluid , name the factor on which the loss in weight of a solid depends. Name the two forces which act upon the solid dipped in the fluid.

Answer 1

You can easily figure out a weight loss in any solid while it is immersed in a fluid for some time.

Loss in weight of the body, in immersed in the liquid depends upon the volume of the body and density of the liquid.

The forces which Buoyant force and gravitational force act upon the solid dipped in the liquid.

Answer 2

Answer..Loss of weight of a solid in a fluid depends on the density of liquid and volume of the body. The two forces that act upon the solid dipped in the fluid are:

Actual weight of the body acting vertically downwards

Upward thrust or buoyant force acting vertically upwards.
