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


Why do large cruise ships float in water?

This is because they displace a volume of water which has a weight equal to their weights. The upward upthrust is equal to their weights (upthrust = weight of fluid displaced)


The force is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by an object?

Upthrust.


What is bouyancy force always equal to?

Buoyancy force or upthrust must be equal to the weight of the object for the object to stay afloat. If the weight is greater than the upthrust, the object would sink.


An object will float in water if it weighs?

a weight equal to the upthrust of the water


What does Archimedes' principle state?

It states that when a body is partially or completely immersed in a fluid, there is an upward force called upthrust acting on the body, which is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the body.


What happens to the body when the upthrust is less than the weight of the object'?

An object that is COMPLETELY submerged in water has its Upthrust equal its weight, but it doesn't necessarily float, an object could be at the rock-bottom of the ocean, and it would still have its upthrust equal to its weight. This is because the upthrust is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced, and so while the objects volume remains constant, and assuming the density of the fluid it displaces is constant.. The upthrust remains constant, this is unless the object compresses and has its density altered.. I know I didn't directly answer your question, but I hope this helps.. Even if a little.


Why does bouyant force act upward on an object submerged in water?

Upthrust which is equal to weight of fluid displaced


What is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by an object?

The upthrust on a body wholly or partly immersed in a fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced.One of the earliest laws of physics to be correctly stated, this is known as Archimedes' principle.


What is the effect of water on object submerged in water?

It is named as buoyant force which always acts in the upward direction ie opposite to the weight of the body. So actual weight appears to be reduced. Hence apparent weight loss


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 !!!


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.
