Discussion
When a body is immersed partly or wholly in a liquid, there is an apparent loss in weight of the body which is equal to the weight of liquid displaced by the body.
Answer: A
True. This is Archimedes' principle.
The apparent loss in weight equals the weight of the fluid displaced: \[F_B = \rho_{fluid}V_{displaced}\,g\] It follows from the pressure being greater at the bottom of the immersed body than at the top.
