SUMMARY
The magnitude of the upthrust force acting on a metal ball immersed in water is 0.2 N. This conclusion is derived from the difference in weight of the ball when measured in air (1 N) versus when it is fully submerged in water (0.8 N). The upthrust force, also known as buoyant force, is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the ball, which in this case results in a reduction of 0.2 N in the apparent weight of the ball.
