What is the apparent weight for a body floating in water equal to?
if its floating, its zero : weight or force = upthrust from water note: upthrust from water = weight of water displaced
What force keeps boats floating?
upthrust
What forces are balanced when something floats?
upthrust keeps the object floating the gravitational pull keeps it along the meniscus of the averaged water
The force that acts on objects immersed in or floating on a liquid?
Upthrust from the liquid.
Why does an object seem lighter in water?
because of the upthrust in water it weighs less and floats. An object in water will recieve an upthrust equal to the weight of water it displaces . submarines when neutrally ballasted could hang by the periscope that is just under the water raise periscope sub sinks down as water covers periscope starts to rise again, Any floating object displaces its own weight of fluid.

What direction is upthrust when a beach ball is floating on water?
Up
What force keeps boats floating?
upthrust
What forces act on a floating boat?
gravity and upthrust.
What forces are balanced when something floats?
upthrust keeps the object floating the gravitational pull keeps it along the meniscus of the averaged water
Do boats float better on fresh water or salt water?
The floating or sinking of an object depends on the upthrust force the water exerts on the object. By Archmides' principle, Upthrust Force = (Density of Liquid) * (Volume of Liquid Displaced by the object) therefore the upthrust force depends on the density of the liquid, and as salt water has a larger density than fresh water, boats should float better on salt water.
Why aship floats on a water?
Because the weight of ship balances the upthrust force , We know that weight always act downward and upthrust force always act upward so we can say that it comes in equillibrium condition . that's why it keeps floating on water..........
The force that acts on objects immersed in or floating on a liquid?
Upthrust from the liquid.
What are the factor of upthrust?
upthrust is noting but the power of water that is used to push a thing in water
What is upthurst?
This is the name given to a bouyancey force. When an object diplaces a fluid, the amount of upthrust received is proportional to the volume of fluid displaced. When an object is floating then the upthrust is equal to the objects weight. When more people get on to a boat, the boat sinks further into the water, displacing more water so that the upthrust increases to balance the new weight. If an object sinks then the amount of upthrust it receives is less than the weight so the object falls. Just because it sinks doesn't mean that there is no upthrust, there is. This is why heavy objects appear lighter if you place them in water.
What is upthrust in water?
upthrust works by if you put a counter in a jug of waser slowley it should work because gravity and upthrust both together is equal so that's how it works its equal !!!
How is a ship made of materials that are much denser than water able to float on water?
A floating ship displaces its weight in water and the water pushes back (according to newton's 3rd action-reaction law). The upward force is called upthrust. This occurs according to Archimedes' Principle which states that when a body is full or partially submerged in a fluid (water), the upthrust equals the weight of the water displaced.
