Which of the following affects the buoyant force described by Archimedes' Principle?
A. The volume of the submerged object
B. The weight of the submerged object
C. The volume of the displaced fluid
D. The weight of the displaced object
C
The buoyant force is equal to the product of the density of water, g, and the volume of vater displaced. The density of water and g are constants, so the buoyant force is directly proportional to the volume of water displaced.
