Question

When buoyant force is greater or equal to its weight, then an object floats over a liquid.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

1. Buoyant Force: The buoyant force is the upward force exerted on an object immersed in a fluid, either completely or partially. Upthrust is the term for the upward force. A body that is partially or completely submerged in a fluid appears to be less weight, i.e. appears to be lighter, due to the buoyant force.
2. The thing will rise to the surface and float if the buoyant force is greater than the weight of the object. The object will sink if the buoyant force is less than its weight. The object will remain hung at that depth or floats at the surface under a completely submerged state if the buoyant force equals its weight.

Hence, the given statement is true.
