A student took solid bodies of different shapes, sizes and materials and noted down the apparent loss in weight on partially or fully immersing the bodies in different liquids. Based on the observations, he wrote the following conclusions. Which statement is incorrect and why? a) Upthrust depends on the volume of the body immersed and density of the liquid b) Upthrust increases as the body goes deeper inside the liquid c) Upthrust depends on the acceleration due to gravity and density of the liquid d) Upthrust does not depend on the shape of the vessel in which the liquid is filled
