Choose the best option: An object is totally submerged in a fluid. The buoyant force that is exerted on the object is proportional to ... Select one: A. the density of the object. B. the volume of the object. C. the density of the fluid. D. A and B
Added by Shawn H.
Step 1
The weight of the fluid displaced is given by the product of the volume of the object, the density of the fluid, and the acceleration due to gravity (g). Mathematically, this can be expressed as: Buoyant force = Volume of object × Density of fluid × g From this Show more…

Which of the following is a case where the object will sink to the bottom of the fluid, if it is released? a) The density of the object is less than the density of the fluid. b) The gravitational force on the object is equal in magnitude to the buoyant force on the object when the object is submerged entirely in the fluid. c) The density of the object is greater than the density of the fluid. d) The gravitational force on the object is equal in magnitude to the buoyant force on the object when half of the object is in the fluid.
