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.
