A body weighing 14N in air is partially immersed in water. If the mass of water displaced in the process is 200g, calculate the upthrust on the body. [g=10m/s2]

A. 2.0N
B. 3.0N
C. 3.5N
D. 7.0N

Correct Answer: Option A

A. 2.0N

Explanation

Upthrust = weight of the liquid displaced

= mass of liquid displaced × acceleration due to gravity

= 200/1000×10

= 2N
