JAMB 2017 - Question 6
Physics 2017 JAMB Past Questions - Question 6: Calculate the upthrust on an object of volume 50cm which is immersed in liquid of density 10 kgm (g=10ms)
Choose the correct answers from the options given.
A:
B:
C:
D:
Correct Answer
C
Explanation
Density, p = mass (m) volume (v)Mass, m = pvVolume of liquid displace =volume of the solid = 50cm3Up thrust = weight of fluid displaced. Upthrust = mg = Pv g= 103x 50 x 10-6 x 10 5 x 10-1 N = 0.5N
