Question

Which principle explains the buoyant force of a fluid?

(a) Archimedes principle

(b) Pascal’s principle

(c) Bernoulli’s Principle

(d) Newton’s second law of motion

I have been asked this question during an interview for a job.

I'd like to ask this question from Fluid Statics and Fluid Dynamics topic in chapter Fluid Flow Theory & Applications of Food Processing Unit Operations

Answer 1

Right option is (a) Archimedes principle

The explanation is: Archimedes principle states that the object partially or fully submerged in a fluid will experience a buoyant force which is equal to the fluid weight in which object is displaced.
