When the beaker is allowed to fall freely, apparent weight of the body becomes zero i.e. body exerts no force on water. Hence no water is displaced due to weight of the body. So buoyant force i.e. upthrust will also become zero.

A water clock consist of a vessel which has a small orifice . The upper container is filled with water which trickles down into the lower container. The shape of the (upper or lower) container is such that height of water in the upper container changes at a uniform rate. What should be the shape of the container? Assume that atmospheric air can enter inside the lower container through a hole in it and that the upper container is open at the top. Vessel is axially symmetric.
