A cylindrical object weighs 50 g in air and has a volume of 10 cm3. What will be its apparent weight when immersed in water?

Question

Archimedes' principle. Using that calculate the buoyant force.
Buoyant force= Weight of water displaced.
Weight of water displaced=Mass*g
Mass=Density*Volume ( Density of water is 1000 kg/m^3)

Net Force on cylinder=Buoyant force-Weight or Actual Weight- Buoyant force. (Whichever is greater)
Net force is apparent weight.
