The body does not lose weight. However it is buoyed up equal to the weight of the amount of water that is displaced by the submerged parts of the body.

Why does object immersed in water loses apparent weight not complete weight?

When an object is immersed in water, it experiences an upward force known as buoyancy due to the displaced water. This buoyant force reduces the net force acting on the object, causing it to lose apparent weight. However, the object still has its complete weight acting downward, but the buoyant force counteracts a portion of it, leading to the apparent weight being less than the actual weight.


Two different objects are completely immersed in water and undergo same loss in weightis it necessary that the weights of these objects in air be also the same?

Ooooh, tricky question. You said that each object "lost" the same amount of weight in water, and that means that the two objects were the same size (i.e., they displaced the same amount of water when submersed, therefore the same weight loss), but it does not mean they weighed the same to start with. Regardless of their intitial weights, they will lose an amount equal to the weight of water they displace. So, no, the two objects do not necessarily weigh the same in air, but they might. There is no information here to tell you whether they do or do not. Ray

How can ice help you lose weight?

Ice can help you lose weight by increasing your metabolism. When you consume ice-cold water or foods, your body works harder to warm them up, burning more calories in the process. This can contribute to weight loss over time when combined with a healthy diet and exercise routine.
