A ship floats on the sea.

Figure for Question Edexcel IGCSE Physics 1.12 Types of Force Questions question 1 — Edexcel IGCSE Physics

The ship floats because of the forces acting on it.

The upward force acting on the ship is called upthrust.

This force is shown on the diagram.
Draw another labelled arrow on the diagram to show the other vertical force acting on the ship.
