Transcribed Image Text:What is Archimedes' Principle?
O the pressure in a fluid is directly related to the depth below the surface of the fluid.
O an object immersed in a fluid is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the displaced fluid.
O the pressure of a fluid is inversely proportional to the temperature of the fluid.
O the velocity of a fluid is directly proportional to the pressure exerted on the fluid.

A boat floating in a large pool is loaded with wood blocks. The water level at the pool's edge is
marked with a red line. The blocks are now thrown overboard and float outside the boat. When the
water becomes calm again,
O the red line is slightly higher than the water level
O the red line is slightly lower than the water level.
U
O the red line is still at the water level.
