The upward force exerted by a liquid on an object immersed in or floating on the liquid

• pressure
• buoyant force
• normal force
• gravity

If an object weighing 50.0 N displaces a volume of water with a weight of 10.0 N, what is the buoyant force on the object?

• 10 N
• 60 N
• 40 N 
• 20 N 

When the weight of an object is greater than the buoyant force, the object will ... 

• Sink
• Float 
• Expand
• Shrink

What is the volume of Object X?

• 10.0 cm³
• 15.0 cm³
• 20.0 cm³
• 25.0 cm³

Archimedes' Principle states that... 

• The buoyant force acting on an object equals the volume of the fluid displaced by the object. 
• The buoyant force acting on an object equals the weight (force of gravity) of the fluid displaced by the object.
• The buoyant force acting on an object will always be equal. 

What direction is the buoyant force in?

• Downward
• Left
• Right
• Upward
