Topic: Fluid Mechanics
The buoyancy depends on
- A. Mass of liquid displaced
- B. Viscosity of the liquid
- C. Pressure of the liquid displaced
- D. Depth of immersion
Answer: A. Mass of liquid displaced
Explanation: Buoyancy is the ability of an object to float when submerged in a fluid. An object completely or partially submerged in a fluid will experience an upward buoyancy force that is equal to the weight of the fluid that is displaced. Thus, it depends on the mass of the liquid displaced.
