The property of a liquid to exert an upward force on a body immersed in it is called :

1. buoyancy
2. pressure
3. friction
4. viscosity

Which of the following are the correct characteristic properties of upthrust ?

(i) the smaller the volume of a body submerged in a liquid, the smaller is the upthrust

(ii) the upthrust acts on the body in an upward direction at the centre of buoyancy

(iii) for the same volume of a body inside a fluid, the less the density of the fluid, greater will be the upthrust

1. (i) & (ii)
2. (i) & (iii)
3. (ii) & (iii)
4. (i), (ii) & (iii)

If an empty can is pushed into water, we feel :

1. a downward force
2. an upward force
3. it is easy to push the can into water
4. both (a) and (c)

The S.I. unit of upthrust is:

1. Pa
2. N
3. kg
4. kg m²
