(a) jerk / झटका
(b) buoyancy / उछाल
(c) Archimedal force / आर्किमिडील बल
(d) Anti-gravity / गुरुत्वाकर्षण विरोधी
Show Answer
Ans.(b)
Sol.The pressure in a fluid at rest increases with depth, anybody immersed in the fluid will have a greater pressure exerted over its lower surfaces than over its upper surfaces. Consequently, there will be a net upwards force on the body and this is known as the buoyancy force (FB). If buoyancy force is equal to the weight of the body, then the body will float, and the body is said to be buoyant.
