Answer:

Suppose a box of mass "m" is placed over a table.

Gravity pulls it down with a force F = mg

Since it is placed on a table and has no net acceleration thus it is applying some force on table and the table applies some force on box which balances the other force.

thus the reaction force applied by the table on box is F =mg on the opposite direction simultaneously.

I want to know that in the numericals of chapter upthurst.

In the formulae Upthrust=Volume*Density*Gravity

Why we dont put the value of g but let it be like that.

When we do this the answer is in kgf

Please tell me what is kgf
