The amount of buoyancy obtained by a solid partially or completely immersed in a liquid depends on

The amount of buoyancy obtained by a solid partially or completely immersed in a liquid depends on the amount of liquid displaced by the solid (option A). This principle is known as Archimedes’ principle. It states that the buoyant force acting on an object submerged in a fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. Therefore, the greater the volume of liquid displaced by the solid, the greater the buoyant force it experiences. The mass and weight of the solid do not directly influence the buoyancy; rather, it is the displacement of the fluid that determines the buoyant force exerted on the solid. Understanding this principle is crucial in various applications, including shipbuilding, submarine design, and the behavior of floating objects in fluids.
