Question: Q: What is an upward force that fluids exert on any object that is placed in them? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: Buoyant force is an upward force that fluids exert on any object that is placed in them. The ability of fluids to exert this force is called buoyancy . What explains buoyant force? A fluid exerts pressure in all directions, but the pressure is greater at greater depth. Therefore, the fluid below an object, where the fluid is deeper, exerts greater pressure on the object than the fluid above it. You can see in the Figure below how this works. Buoyant force explains why the girl pictured above can float in water. Choices: - gravity force - warm force - efficient force - buoyant force A:
Answer:
buoyant force
