TEST ON Archimedes Principle
Archimedes' Principle states that in the case of an object completely submerged in a fluid, solely due to its own
weight, the buoyant force is:
A. There is no buoyant force acting on the object
B. The buoyant force is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced
C. The buoyant force is greater than the weight of the fluid displaced
D. The buoyant force is greater than the weight of the object - correct answer B. The buoyant force is equal to
the weight of the fluid displaced
For a floating object how does its density relate to the density of the fluid?
A. pfluid > pobject
B. pfluid = pobject
C. pfluid < pobject
D. Not enough info - correct answer A. pfluid > pobject
Any liquid or gas can be considered a fluid?
A. true
B. false - correct answer A. true
