When a body is immersed in water, it exerts an upward force on the body. This upward force partially counter-balances weight of the body. As a result, the body appears lighter.

When an object is immersed wholly or partly in a liquid, it experiences an apparent loss in its weight equal to the weight of the liquid displaced by the object.

What does the term fluid mean?
The term fluid means any things which can flow. Since liquids and gases can flow, the term fluid is used for liquids and gases.
