why is upthrust having the least magnitude ? as W= upthrust + air resistance so weight has the greatest magnitude ....but y is upthrust lesser than air resistance?

The magnitude of upthrust acting on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object.
The fluid may be liquid or gas.
If it is air, then upthrust is very small, because the weight of the air displaced by the object is very small.

Two wire each have length 1.8 m and diameter 1.2 mm.One wire has Young modulus 1.1*10^2 Pa and the other has 2.2*10^11 Pa.One end of each wire is attached to same fixed point and the other end of each is attached to same load of 75 N so that each has same extension.Calculate the extension of the wires.How do I do solve this?

ok thank you
i just realised the first wire's Young Modulus was supposed to be 1.1*10^11.My bad!!
