The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the buoyant force experienced by a body submerged in a static liquid and its relation to pressure variation with depth, we can break down the explanation into clear steps. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Buoyant Force**: - When a body is submerged in a fluid, it experiences an upward force known as buoyant force. This force is due to the difference in pressure acting on the top and bottom surfaces of the submerged body. 2. **Pressure Variation with Depth**: - In a static liquid, pressure increases with depth. This can be expressed by the equation: \[ P = \rho g h \] where \( P \) is the pressure, \( \rho \) is the density of the liquid, \( g \) is the acceleration due to gravity, and \( h \) is the depth from the surface of the liquid. 3. **Analyzing the Forces**: - Consider a cylindrical body submerged in the liquid. Let the height of the cylinder be \( H \). The pressure at the bottom of the cylinder (depth \( h_2 \)) will be greater than the pressure at the top of the cylinder (depth \( h_1 \)). - The pressure at the top of the cylinder is given by: \[ P_{top} = \rho g h_1 \] - The pressure at the bottom of the cylinder is given by: \[ P_{bottom} = \rho g h_2 \] - Since \( h_2 > h_1 \), it follows that \( P_{bottom} > P_{top} \). 4. **Calculating the Buoyant Force**: - The buoyant force \( F_b \) can be calculated as the difference in force due to pressure on the bottom and top surfaces of the cylinder: \[ F_b = A \cdot (P_{bottom} - P_{top}) \] where \( A \) is the cross-sectional area of the cylinder. - Substituting the pressures: \[ F_b = A \cdot (\rho g h_2 - \rho g h_1) = A \cdot \rho g (h_2 - h_1) \] - This shows that the buoyant force is directed upwards, confirming that the body experiences an upward force when submerged. 5. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, Statement 1 is correct: a body submerged in a static liquid experiences an upward buoyant force. - Statement 2 is also correct: pressure varies with depth in a static liquid, which explains why the buoyant force acts upwards. ### Final Statement: Both statements are true, and Statement 2 provides a correct explanation for Statement 1. ---
