Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This is known as Archimedes' Principle, which states that the buoyant force acting on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. Since a completely submerged object is displacing its own volume of fluid, the answer is A. The weight and density of the fluid are not always equal to that of the object, and so options B and C are incorrect. Option D is too broad as it encompasses all three options, whereas the correct answer is only A.
