- Archimedes' principle states that the upward buoyant force that is exerted on a body immersed in a fluid, whether fully or partially submerged, is equal to the weight of the fluid that the body displaces and acts in the upward direction at the center of mass of the displaced fluid.
EXPLANATION:
- From the above definition, option 3 is correct.
-
Laws of Floatation: The three conditions required for the body to float on water are:
-
The weight of the body in the figure is equal to the buoyant force. (c) (d)
-
The weight of the body is greater than the weight of the fluid displaced i.e. buoyant force. (b)
-
The weight of the body is less than the weight of the fluid displaced i.e. buoyant force. (a)
