Question

Archimedes' principle states that the buoyant force exerted on a body immersed in a fluid is equal to the volume of the fluid that the body displaces.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Archimedes' principle states that the buoyant force exerted on a body submerged in a liquid is equal to the weight of the liquid displaced. Also, the force exerted on a body cannot be compared with a volume, as these are two different physical quantities.
