The buoyant force acting on a body partly immersed in liquid, depend on the total volume of the object.

A cubical block is floating in a liquid with one fourth o its volume immersed in the liquid. If whole of the system accelerates upward with acceleration g/4, the fraction of volume immersed in the liquid will be :-

Assertion: In projectile motion, the acceleration is constant in both magnitude and direction but the velocity changes in both magnitude and direction. Reason: When a force or accelration is acting in an oblique direction to the direction of velocity then both magnitude and direction of the velocity may be changed.
