Vedclass · Answer

(B) The upward force exerted by a liquid on an object immersed in it is known as buoyancy.When an object is immersed in a fluid,the fluid exerts an upward force on the object.This force is called the buoyant force or upthrust.As the object is pushed deeper into the liquid,the volume of the displaced liquid increases,which leads to an increase in the buoyant force.
