Question 1

What does Archimedes' Principle state?

  • A submerged object experiences a downward force.
  • A submerged object experiences an upward buoyant force equal to the fluid displaced.
  • Buoyant force increases with depth only.

💡 Hint: Think about submerged objects in water.

Question 2

True or False: The stability of an object is improved when the center of gravity is above the center of buoyancy.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Relation of CG and CB is key in stability.
