Statement I : A body floats in a liquid with a fraction n of its volume above the surface of the liquid. If the system is taken to a planet where the acceleration due to gravity is greater than that on earth, the fraction n will decrease. Statement II : For flotation, the weight of the body is equal to the weight of the liquid displaced.

On what other factor does the pressure at a point in a liquid depend besides the depth of that point and the acceleration due to gravity at that place?
