Question 1

What does Archimedes' Principle state?

  • A body submerged in a fluid experiences an upward buoyant force equal to its weight.
  • All objects sink in a fluid.
  • Fluids exert no forces on objects.

💡 Hint: Think about how objects behave in water.

Question 2

True or False: The center of buoyancy is always the same as the center of gravity.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Consider scenarios with different shapes.
