Detailed Solution

When a body is fully immersed in liquid, the apparent loss in the weight of the body is equal to the volume of liquid displaced by the body.
Archimedes' principle states that "the weight of water displaced is equal to the weight of the immersed part". For a solid in a liquid, the weight acting vertically down at its centre of gravity is equivalent to the liquid's weight displaced by the immersed part. Here the solid acts vertically up at its centre of buoyancy.
