Questions and Answers

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)
