Upthrust and weight
An object in water has two
forces acting upon it-
upthrust and weight
Upthrust is the upwards
force exerted by a liquid
on the object
Weight is the force of
gravity on the object
The ship is floating because
the upthrust is the same size
as the weight
Upthrust and weight
If the upthrust
exerted by the
water is 300N and
the weight of the
boat is 300N, does
the boat sink or
float?
Checkpoint
How many masses can a piece of paper hold
before it sinks?
Floating paper
How can I change the paper to help it take more
mass?
Floating paper
Who can make a paper boat the holds the
biggest mass?
Lets find out.
Floating paper
• What equipment will you need?
• What mass will your boat hold?
• How will you do the experiment?
• Draw a diagram

Floating paper
• Which boat was the best?
• Why?
• How could you make the experiment better?
Floating paper
A rubber duck
has a weight of
3N and an
upthrust of 2N.
Does the duck
float or sink?
Checkpoint
The dive toys sink to the
bottom of the
swimming pool. Draw a
diagram labelling the
forces and explain why
the toys have sunk.
Upthrust and weight
The dive toys sink to the
bottom of the pool
because the weight
and upthrust are
unbalanced. The
weight is more than the
upthrust so the toys will
sink.
