Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The buoyancy depends on
A
the depth to which the body is immersed
B
the shape of the body
C
the mass of the liquid displaced
D
the mass of the body
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The buoyant force depends on the mass of the object, the weight of the object and its density. Also, the buoyant force depends on the volume of the liquid displaced.

Detailed explanation-2: -The buoyant force is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced. The greater the density of the fluid, the less fluid that is needed to be displaced to have the weight of the object be supported and to float.

Detailed explanation-3: -Explanation: Buoyant force of a body depends on the following factors: volume of the body which is submerged in the liquid or volume of the liquid displaced, the density of the liquid and acceleration due to gravity. So here, the answer to this question is the density of the liquid.
