Question

If the weight of the body is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by it, the net force acting on the body is zero.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

when a body is immersed in a fluid buoyant force acts on it , which is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced

so if weight of the body is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by it or buoyant force than net force acting on the body is 0 as weight of the body exerts force in downward direction and buoyant force acts in upward direction .

so option (A) is correct
