प्रश्न
A metal solid cylinder tied to a thread is hanging from the hook of a spring balance. The cylinder is gradually immersed into the water contained in a jar. What changes do you expect in the readings of the spring balance? Explain your answer.
उत्तर
The readings in the spring balance decreases.
As the cylinder is immersed in the jar of water, an upward force acts on it, which is in opposition to the weight component of the cylinder. Hence the cylinder appears to be lighter.

What do you understand by the term “Buoyancy”.
Assertion (A): The buoyant force on a submerged rigid object can be considered to be acting at the center of mass of the object.
Reason (R): In rigid body, force distributed uniformly through its volume can be considered to be acting at the centre of mass of the body.
