The magnitude of buoyant force on a body of fixed volume when submerged completely depends on

Archimedes' principle states that: "The upward buoyant force that is exerted on a body immersed in a fluid, whether fully or partially submerged, is equal to the volume of the fluid that the body displaces."

Q. State whether given statement is True or False
Archimede's principle describes the magnitude of a buoyant force acting on a body that is partly or completely submerged in a fluid.

Q. Assertion :Force of buoyancy due to atmosphere on a small body is almost zero (or negligible). Reason: If a body is completely submerged in a fluid, then buoyant force is zero.

Q. Assertion :The buoyant force on a submerged rigid object can be considered to be acting at the centre of mass of the object. Reason: For a rigid body a force field distributed uniformly through its volume can be considered to be acting at the centre of mass of the body.
