Which force is responsible for the tendency of a liquid to exert an upward force on any object immersed in it?

Buoyant force (correct)

Tension force

Frictional force

Weight force

Under what conditions will a body float when submerged in water?

When tension force is greater than weight

When weight is greater than buoyant force

When buoyant force is greater than or equal to weight (correct)

When frictional force is greater than buoyant force

What is the characteristic property of upthrust related to the volume of the body submerged in fluid?

Larger the volume of the body, lower the upthrust

Smaller the volume of the body, greater the upthrust

Volume of the body does not affect upthrust

Larger the volume of the body, greater the upthrust (correct)
