Question

1.

Water and other fluids exert a downward force called a
buoyant force
True or false?

Answer 1

Water and other fluids exert an upward force called the buoyant force that acts on a submerged object. ... If an object's weight is greater than the buoyant force, a net force acts downward on the object. The object will sink. If the weight of an object is equal to the buoyant force, no net force acts on the object.
