MCQ
The upthrust experienced by a body immersed in a liquid depends on the:
Unit-5 Pressure and Deformation in Solids
A volume of liquid displaced and the density of the liquid
B colour of the liquid
C surface area of the container only
D temperature of the air above
Explanation

Upthrust = weight of displaced liquid = V rho g, so it depends on displaced volume and liquid density.
