Question

When pulling a fish out of water it appears lighter inside water as compared to when it is out of water. Why?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Anything in water is lighter because it's weight acting in downward direction is partially cancelled by the upward buoyant force inside the water. Hence, the thing seems to be lighter in comparison to when it is outside the water as no such upward force acts in the latter case.
