Does mercury also show upthrust like water to a body immersed in it?

An object surrounded by fluid is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the
displaced fluid. It doesn't matter whether the fluid is water, as in the case of a
canoe, or air, as in the case of a blimp, or any other fluid.

Why tropical water produces less upthrust than water in winter in North Atlantic?
tropical fresh water produces less upthrust in winter than the North Atlantic because tropical water is warmer than the cold water of the North Atlantic. i need one more reson too though!Its also becasue salt water is denser than "fresh water" therefore it will provide a greater upthrust like with mercuary that will provide even more up thrust becase it has an even greater density
Does a mug full of water appear lighter inside the water?
Anything immersed in water becomes lighter as an upward force called buoyant force acted on it. So a mug full of water also appears lighter inside water.
If an object weight 500g in air and 400g in water. what is the upthrust on it?
We can't find the term "upthrust" in any of the myriad volumes in our vast reference library. If the object's weight balances the weight of a 500g standard while in air, and the weight of a 400g standard while in water, then the effect of the water is to produce an upward force on the object equal to the weight of a 100g standard, or 0.978 Newton. By Archimedes' principle, this is also the weight of the water displaced by the object, which tells us that the object has a volume very near 100 cc.
What are the two forces that act on a stationary boat that is afloat?
The two forces that act are the weight of the boat (mass times gravity) and the upthrust of the water. If the boat is in equilibrium on the water (e.g. not sinking) then upthrust will equal weight
The force exerted by a liquid on an immersed in it is called?
"What is the force exerted by a still liquid on an immersed non-moving object called? -- PressureOtherwise, if the object is moving, one could also have "shear forces".
Does Mercury also show upthrust?
Yes, there seems to be a large number of compression folds and rupes.
What are factors affecting upthrust?
upthrust=buoyant force=weight of the body immersed in d liquid so gravity and mass is a cause of upthrust as weight of a body=mass* gravity
Are tumbled polished stones or also known as rocks OK in the water?
Rock will be fine immersed in water.
Does upthrust ONLY occur in water?
Nope. it occurs in other liquids and even things. like in the air. for example, when you throw a pen in the air, you will find things like... when you throw a pen, there is a push from the muscle and the gravity. The push from the muscle is greater in this occation so the pen goes up. And when it falls, there is nomore of the push from the muscle and there is an upthrust and gravity. (this is where upthrust works) the force of gravity is greater so it falls. Also, it is because of the upthrust that we are standing on the earth. There's an upthrust acting on us as well as the gravity. But ofcourse, as the gravity is stronger, we do not float up to the sky. but if there wasn't any upthrust, we would be sinking into the earth by now! Also upthrust acts on other liquids like oil and salt water.... whoa.. i wrote alot... hope it helped you!
What is immerse?
Immersed means to become engrossed in something, such as a good book, or a field of study. It also means to go into a body of water, i.e., The swimmer became immersed in the lake.
There are two reasons why tropical freshwater produces less upthrust than water in winter in the north atlantic but what are they?
In tropical seas the water is warmer so it is less dense than in colder areas. The ship sinks lower in water, as cargo is loaded, to displace a greater weight of water. Fresh water also produces less upthrust than sea water.
What is the reason for upthrust?
There are several answering services that also have this question or similar ones on it. From answerbag.com, the question asked was: what is upthrust? The answers were: * Upthrust is the upward force exerted on an object in a fluid. It arises as a result of the difference in pressure exerted by the fluid on the surface of the object at different depth. * Up thrust is the force that pushes objects up and makes them seem to loose weight in a fluid (note - a fluid means a liquid or gas) When you are standing on the ground gravity keeps you down but upthrust stops you from falling into the earths core. In a way upthrust makes things hard!! Because if it didn't exist solids wouldn't be solid.An objects density effects how it floats. * Density = Mass * ------- * Volume * Upthrust is also called buoyancy. It is the upward force produced on an object in a fluid (such as air or water). The force is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. If that weight is greater than the weight of the object, the object will float in the fluid. If it is equal, it will sit suspended. If it is less, it will sink, but the object will weigh less than it would in a vacuum. Hence, it is easier to pick up a heavy object in water than in air - the amount of displaced water weighs more than the equivalent volume of air, therefore water produces a greater upthrust. In wiki answers the question asked was: = What does upthrust mean? = The answer was: Upthrust is a type of force that pushes upwards
Do an object that floats in water will sink in mercury?
If an object floats in water it will also float in the much denser mercury

Where is physics in water?
About non-living objects: all of them are subject to LOSS OF WEIGHT, more or less---depending upon their relative density with respect to that of water. An object Denser than water will sink into the water to the base of the contaniner. on the other hand, an object LIGHTER than water will float on the surface of the water. It will be in equlibrium under the action of two forces: namely downward weight W -------and upward upthrust or Buoyant force. Upthrust = weight of the liquid displaced due to immersion of the object Pressure due to liquid on the immersed object: liquid exerts pressure on immersed object, which increases LINEARLY with depth inside the water. Hence divers cannot dive into the sea beyuond a crictical depth becasue below that breathing is impossible and death may result due to SUFFUCATION For living Objects: aquatic life survives beneath the ICE-SHEET of ponds, rivers, seas etc due to ANOMALOUS EXPANSION OF THE WATER. iT IS ALSO due tto the fact that water is an INSULATOR of heat Also water DISSOVEs some OXYGEN for the aquatic life to sort of breathing. hope it pleases u
Why does seaweed live near oceans?
Because it is adapeted for life in sea water, so it has to live in the ocean. It is also an algae, so requires to be immersed in water to survive
Does a mug full of water appear lighter inside the water?
Anything immersed in water becomes lighter as an upward force called buoyant force acted on it. So a mug full of water also appears lighter inside water.
