Amongst which of the following is the center of buoyancy of an object submerged in a fluid?

5. Amongst which of the following is the center of buoyancy of an object submerged in a fluid?

1. The geometric center of the object
2. The point where the buoyant force acts on the object
3. The point where the object's weight is concentrated
4. The point at which the object will sink

Answer: B) The point where the buoyant force acts on the object

Explanation:

The center of buoyancy is the point within an object immersed in a fluid where the buoyant force is applied, and it coincides with the centroid of the displaced fluid.
