Question

The objects are of the same dimension, but different mass are immersed in a given fluid, all three will experience a buoyant force. The order of magnitude of buoyant force experienced is

• A. Yes
• B. No
• C. $\text{Lighter object < Heavier object > Too heavy object}$
• D. $\text{Lighter object = Heavier object = Too heavy object}$

Answer 1

The correct option is D

$\text{Lighter object = Heavier object = Too heavy object}$

The object of the same dimension immersed in a given fluid will experience the same buoyant force. Each object in the given fluid will displace the same weight of the fluid as their volumes are the same and hence the buoyant force experienced by each of the objects is also the same.
