1. Amongst which of the following is related to the buoyant force experienced by an object immersed in a fluid?
- The weight of the object
- The weight of the fluid that the object displaces
- Zero
- The volume of the object
Answer: B) The weight of the fluid that the object displaces
Explanation:
The buoyant force on an object submerged in a fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid that the object has displaced, according to Archimedes' principle. This is why objects that are less dense than the fluid float.
