Body weight in the air 20N. Determine the weight of this body in oil if the buoyancy force of 5N acts on it in oil.

These tasks: P (weight of the considered body in the air) = 20 N; Fa (buoyancy force acting on the considered body in oil) = 5 N.

The weight of the body in question in oil can be calculated by the formula: Pm = P – Fa.

Let’s calculate: Pm = 20 – 5 = 15 N.

Answer: The weight of the body in question in oil is 15 N.
