Hope it helps..!!

Answer 2

Explanation:

(a) The buoyant force depends on the nature of object immersed in the liquid - False.

Since, buoyancy depends only on the volume of the object and the density of the fluid, thus it is not dependent on the nature of the object.

(b) Archimedes’ principle can also be applied to gases - True

Archimedes’ principle is the entire basis of convection, where a balloon full of hot air also floats in the cold air.
