    Find the lifting force of a 4 kg cork life belt in sea water, if the densitites of cork and sea water are \[0.2\times {{10}^{3}}kg/{{m}^{3}}\] and \[1.3\times {{10}^{3}}kg/{{m}^{3}}\] respectively.

    A)  163 N          

    B)  273 N

    C)  119N          

    D)  298 N

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Volume of cork \[=\frac{4}{0.2\times {{10}^{3}}}{{m}^{3}}\] Weight of liquid displaced when cork is fully immersed in water                 \[=\frac{4}{200}\times 1.03\times {{10}^{3}}\times 9.8-4\times 9.8\] Lifting force                 \[=\frac{4}{200}\times 1.03\times {{10}^{3}}\times 9.8-4\times 9.8\]                 = 201.88 - 39.2 = 163 N
