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.

Which of the following is a fundamental assumption in the study of statics?

• Objects are in motion

• Forces are balanced

• Forces are unbalanced

• Objects are accelerating

In statics, what is the term for a force that causes an object to rotate around a point?
