Q:

Buoyancy depends on

A) the mass of the liquid displaced B) the mass of the body
C) the depth to which the body is immersed D) the shaped of the body
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) the mass of the liquid displaced

Explanation:

Buoyancy or Upthrust, is an upward force exerted by a fluid that opposes the weight of an immersed object.
