A cork floating in water experiences an upward thrust of 6.3gf. If whole of system falls freely under gravity, then what will be the upward thrust on the cork?


When a body is falling freely it is in the state of weightlessness. Since the upward thrust is equal to weight of the water displaced by cork, which is zero due to free fall, thus upward thrust will be zero.
