A body of mass 36kg falls through a viscous liquid which offers a drag force of 260N on the body. The upthrust on the body at terminal velocity is?

[g = 10ms2]

A.

100N

B.

620N

C.

50N

D.

310N

Correct answer is A

For anybody falling through a viscous liquid, at its terminal velocity. the resultant force acting on its is zero. from the equation: Mg - v - u = 0. where v = viscous drag
U = upthrust Mg = weight of the body.
∴ 36 x 10 - 260 - U = 0
∴ U = 360 - 260 = 100N
Upthrust on the body = 100N.
