Q: What will be the buoyancy force exerted by the water?
  • A. Less than the weight of the item
  • B. Zero
  • C. Equal to the weight of the water displaced by the object
  • D. Over load
Correct Answer: Option C - The property of a fluid, due to which it exerts an upward force on an object partially or completely immersed in that fluid, is called a buoyancy or buoyancy force. This force acts on the centeroid of volume of fluid displaced by object which is called centre of buoyancy. If an object floats in a liquid, the upward force exerted by the fluid or liquid on the object is equal to the weight of the liquid of fluid displaced by the object.
