Buoyant force experienced by a body when fully immersed in air is less than that experienced by it in water.

Question

Write true or false for the following statements:

Buoyant force experienced by a body when fully immersed in air is less than that experienced by it in water.

Answer 1

True

The fluid having higher density exerts more buoyant force on an immersed body than the fluid having lower density. As water is denser than air, buoyant force experienced by a body when fully immersed in air is less than that experienced by it in water.
