Question

Why it is said a floating body is weight less

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The apparent weight is the weight of the body minus the weight of the liquid displaced. The body will float only when both the weights are same. In this case, the given body of weight W is floating and hence the apparent weight is zero.

If the density of an object is less than that of the liquid in which it is kept, then the object will float. that is when the buoyant force is more than gravitational force. but if the density of the object is more than that of the liquid in which it is kept, then the object will float.

Answer 2

Explanation:

The apparent weight is the weight of the body minus the weight of the liquid displaced. The body will float only when both the weights are same. In this case, the given body of weight W is floating and hence the apparent weight is zero.
