Answer:

a. Weight of Object in Water = 20 N

b. Up thrust = 20 N

c. Weight of Water Displaced = 20 N

Explanation:

a.

The weight of the object remains same in the water as well. Because, the same force of gravity is acting there as well. Hence,

<u>Weight of Object in Water = 20 N</u>

<u></u>

b.

Since, the object floats on the water. Therefore, according to Archimedes' principle the up thrust force acting on the object must be equal to the weight of object:

Up thrust = Weight of object

<u>Up thrust = 20 N</u>

<u></u>

c.

From Archimedes' Principle, we know that the up thrust or the Buoyant force is equal to the weight of the water displaced by the object. therefore:

Weight of Water Displaced = Up thrust

<u>Weight of Water Displaced = 20 N</u>
