Question

Apparent loss of weight of a body when immersed in a liquid can be explained on the basis of

• A. molecular theory
• B. electron theory
• C. Archimedes' principle.
• D. Bernoulli's principle.

Answer 1

The correct option is C Archimedes' principle.

Archimede's principle states that when a body is immersed partly or wholly in a liquid, there is an apparent loss in the weight of the body which is equal to the weight of the liquid displaced by the body.

Hence, option C is correct.
