Solution

The buoyant force depends upon the following factors:

  1. Size or volume of the body immersed in a fluid: The buoyant force is directly proportional to the size or volume of the body immersed in a fluid.
  2. Density of the fluid in which the body is immersed: The buoyant force is directly proportional to the density of the fluid in which the body is immersed.
  3. Acceleration due to gravity at the place: The buoyant force is directly proportional to the acceleration due to gravity at that place.
  4. Temperature: The buoyant force is inversely proportional to the temperature of the fluid in which the body is immersed.
