Solution

The correct options are
A The density of the liquid
B The volume of the body submerged
Upthrust or buoyant force depends on the density of the fluid, as denser fluids exerts more upthrust. It also depends on the weight and volume of the body submerged in the liquid, i.e. the density of the body.

How is the upthrust related to the volume of the body submerged in a liquid ?

Q. A body floats in a liquid with a part of it submerged inside the liquid then the weight of the floating body is upthrust.

Q. Larger the volume of a body submerged in a fluid, lesser is the buoyant force acting on the body.

Q. The resultant of the weight of a body and the upthrust when it is submerged in a liquid acts at a point called:

A body floats in liquid A of density $ρ_{1}$ with a part of it submerged while in liquid B of density $ρ_{2}$ , it floats with total body submerged. The densities $ρ_{1}$ and $ρ_{2}$ are related as
