The correct Answer is:
To analyze the statements provided in the question, we will break down each statement and evaluate them step by step. ### Step 1: Understanding Statement 1 **Statement 1:** "If a body is floating submerged, then on pressing, it will execute damped oscillatory motion." - A body that is fully submerged experiences a buoyant force equal to its weight, which keeps it in equilibrium. - When you press down on this body, you are displacing it from its equilibrium position. - The buoyant force will act to restore the body to its original position once the pressure is released. - However, due to the resistance from the fluid (viscous drag), the motion will not be simple harmonic but will be damped. ### Step 2: Understanding Statement 2 **Statement 2:** "When a body is floating fully submerged and displaced from its position, then no net force acts at its position." - A body that is fully submerged is in equilibrium, meaning the upward buoyant force equals the downward gravitational force. - When displaced, if the body remains fully submerged, the forces acting on it (buoyant force and gravitational force) still balance each other out, resulting in no net force acting on it. - This implies that the body will not experience any acceleration and will not move unless an external force is applied. ### Step 3: Evaluating the Statements - **Statement 1** is correct because a submerged body can exhibit damped oscillatory motion when displaced, due to the restoring buoyant force and the damping effect of the fluid. - **Statement 2** is also correct as it accurately describes the equilibrium condition of a fully submerged body. ### Conclusion - Both statements are correct, but Statement 2 does not provide a correct explanation for Statement 1. The correct option is that Statement 2 is not a correct explanation for Statement 1. ### Final Answer Both statements are correct, but Statement 2 is not the correct explanation for Statement 1. ---
