Question

Difference between upthrust force and normal reaction force.

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Both are contact forces arising at the interface between two bodies. In the fluid this interface might be irregular, and it completely surrounds a submerged object. For a solid it is usually a single flat surface - but it can be a collection of surfaces, which do not need to be flat or regular, and which can surround the object

Upthrust occurs at a fluid-solid interface whereas normal reaction occurs at a solid-solid surface. However, it is possible to generate the same fluid-like phenomenon of upthrust by immersing a solid object in sand or small beads and agitating them to simulate the pressure of atoms. With
