Q284
The buoyancy depends on
A.
the mass of the body
B.
the shape of the body
C.
the mass of the liquid displaced
AnswerD.
the depth to which the body is immersed
Answer: Option C
Solution
Answer: Option C
Solution:
The buoyancy depends on the mass of the liquid displaced. According to Archimedes principle, the buoyant force of a partially immersed body is equal to the weight of the displaced liquid. Therefore the buoyant force depends upon the density of the fluid and the submerged volume of the body.
