Question on: JAMB Physics - 1998
A solid of weight 0.600N is totally immersed in oil and water respectively. If the upthrust of oil is 0.210N and the relative density of oil is 0.875. Find the upthrust in water.
A
0.600N
B
0.360N
C
0.240N
D
0.180N
Ask EduPadi AI for a detailed answer
Correct Option: C
Rd = (\frac{\text{upthrust in oil}}{\text{upthrust in }H_2O})
thus; 0.875 = (\frac{0.21}{\text{upthrust in }H_2O})
upthrust in H2O = 0.24N
