if its floating, its zero :

weight or force = upthrust from water

note: upthrust from water = weight of water displaced

What can be assumed about the buoyant force on an object floating in water?

The buoyant force on a floating object is equal to the object's weight out of water.


What happenning if the weight of the body equal to zero in the water?

A block of wood is floating in water The weight of the part of the block above water is one-third of the block What is the weight of the water displace by the block of wood?

The weight of water displaced by the floating block of wood is exactly equal to the weight of the ENTIRE block of wood, regardless of how much of the wood is above the water level.


Why does displacement matter for floating or sinking?

The weight of the water (or other liquid, or gas) displaced is equal to the force with which the water will push the object upwards.


What is the apparent mass in water?

Apparent Weight =weight Of Water- Upward Thrust =(mg- Density Of Water Displaced*volume Of Liquid*gravity)


How is the weight of water displaced by a floating body related to the weight of the body itself?

As the body floats then the weight of the body and weight of displaced liquid would be equal to each other. Hence it floats


When the boat is fully loaded it floats lower in the water than when it is empty?

As per Archimedes principle for floating the weight of the displaced water has to be equal to the weight of the boat. Hence for more water to get displaced the boat has to sink more.


What is te meaning of buoyancy?

The property of floating on the surface of a liquid, or in a fluid, as in the atmosphere; specific lightness, which is inversely as the weight compared with that of an equal volume of water., The upward pressure exerted upon a floating body by a fluid, which is equal to the weight of the body; hence, also, the weight of a floating body, as measured by the volume of fluid displaced., Cheerfulness; vivacity; liveliness; sprightliness; -- the opposite of heaviness; as, buoyancy of spirits.


Use the archemedes principle to compare the densities of the cokewith water?

According to Archemedes' Principle, when a body (solid) ispartially or fully immersed in a liquid then the body loses a part of its weight. The weight lost by the body is equal to the volume of liquid displaced by the solid body. In order to compare the density of water and coke, you have to immerse a solid object in water and note down the apparent decrease of weight of the object. Then we have to immerse the same object in coke and note down the apparent decrease in weight of the object. The ratio of these two readings is equal to the ratio of weights of equal volume of water and coke. Hence, it is equal to the ratio of densities of water and coke.


What is the buoyant force acting on a 1000 pound floating in water?

If it's floating, then the buoyant force on it is exactly equal to its weight. (That makes the vector sum of the vertical forces zero, which is why the object is not accelerating vertically.)


Will adding a basketball add weight to a bucket of water?

The only situation where it will not add weight is if both of these is true:The bucket is completely filled to the brim with water before you add the ball.When you add the fully inflated ball, it floats freely in the water after the overflow of water stops.In the above case, the weight of the displaced water (the water that overflows) is equal to the weight of the freely floating ball. There is no net gain in weight. If the bucket is not initially full to the brim, or if the ball rests on the brim of the bucket without floating freely, then the ball will add weight.


What relation do you find between the weight of the floating body and the waight of water that is displaced?

They are equal.When a boat is floating on water it displaces water equal to its weight(Archimedes Principle). As the density of water is less than boat so water displaced is greater than volume of boat. When the boat sinks water displaced is equal to volume of boat. So less water is displaced in 2nd case and consequently water level goes down.Note - relation between volume(v) mass(m) and density(d) : d = m/v
