Answer:

buoyant force on the block due to the water= 10 N

Explanation:

We know that

buoyant force(F_B) on a block= weight of the block in air (actual weight) - weight of block in water.

Given:

A block of metal weighs 40 N in air and 30 N in water.

F_B = 40-30= 10 N

therefore, buoyant force on the block due to the water= 10 N

Answer:

10 N

Explanation:

We are given that

Weight of block of metal in air=40 N

Actual weight of object=Weight of object in air

Actual weight of block of metal=40 N

Apparent weight of block of metal=Weight of block in water

Weight of block in water=30 N

Apparent weight of block=30 N

Density of water=1000 kg /cubic meter

We have to find the buoyant force on the block due to water.

Buoyant force=Actual weight-apparent weight

Buoyant force on the block due to water=40-30=10 N

Hence, the buoyant force on the block due to the water=10 N
