Upthrust of a body in a fluid does not depend upon its: a) Weight b) Volume c) Density d) 'g' at that point and also give reason?

Do u know the formula of upthrust?

hartnn (hartnn):

depends on volume and density for sure

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

no

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

why ?? @hartnn

hartnn (hartnn):

The upthrust can be found from the formula F = ρVg rho = density, V = volume

hartnn (hartnn):

it also depends on g

hartnn (hartnn):

so it won't depend on weight

OpenStudy (anonymous):

WELL, UPTHRUST = volume of the object * Density of liquid * accleration due to gravity

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

but why??

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think its density @hartnn

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

then

hartnn (hartnn):

but upthrist formula has density in it...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That density is density of the object not liquid

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

oh!

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

then

hartnn (hartnn):

so it depends on the weight of body?

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

no it does not

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

@nincompoop

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think it depends upon the WEIGHT because weight is related to accleration due to gravity.

hartnn (hartnn):

makes sense...and yes that was density of liquid, not of object....

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

hey!! but answer is weight...

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

so what is the reason behind it

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

i am sure that answer is weight ...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@experimentX can surely help.....

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

ok let's try

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

@experimentX plz help

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

@mukushla @ash2326

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

@directrix

OpenStudy (experimentx):

doesn't depend on weight

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

but why??

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

ok then
