A cube of sides 0.1m hangs freely from a string. What is the upthrust on the cube when totally immersed in water? [density of water is 1000kgm^-2, g = 10ms^-2]

1000 N

700 N

110 N

10 N

Correct answer is D

Volume of water displaced = volume of cube

therefore, 0.1 x 0.1 x 0.1 = 0.001m³

mass of H₂O = 0.001 X 1000

= 1kg

upthrust = mg

= 1 x 10

=10N
