Question 4

A rectangular equipment housing is fully submerged in water. Its horizontal top and bottom faces each have an area of 0.12 m2. The top face is 0.80 m below the water surface and the bottom face is 1.05 m below the water surface. The density of the water is 1000 kg/m3 and the gravitational field strength is 9.8 N/kg.

Calculate the upthrust on the housing.
