Archimedes' principle of buoyancy states that when a body is totally or partially immersed in a
fluid, it is buoyed up by a force which equals to-
-
A.
Difference of weights of the fluid displaced
and that of the body
-
B.
Weight of the body and fluid displaced by
the body
-
C.
Weight of the fluid displaced by the body
-
D.
Weight of the body
Correct Answer:
C. Weight of the fluid displaced by the body
Explanation:
Archimedes' principle states that any object submerged in a fluid experiences an upward buoyant force equal to the weight of the fluid it displaces. Therefore, the force buoying the body is equivalent to the weight of the fluid displaced by that body.
