Which one of the following statements about hydrostatics is TRUE? Select one: Oa. the buoyancy force acting on a submerged solid cylindrical body of volume V is greater when the axis of the cylinder is vertical compared to when it is horizontal. O b. the buoyancy force acting on a submerged and stationary cork is greater than the buoyancy force acting on a submerged and stationary body with the same size and shape but made out of ironbark (a dense timber). O c. an apple and a pear cannot be distinguished by placing them in water O d. an ice cube (of freshwater) is initially floating in a glass of seawater but melts after some time. After the ice cube has melted, the level of water in the glass will have risen slightly. (It is assumed that the temperatures of the seawater initially and in the final state are the same.) O e. The weight of any floating body equals the weight of fluid with the same volume as the body.

Which one of the following statements about hydrostatics is TRUE?
Select one:
a. the buoyancy force acting on a submerged solid cylindrical body of volume V is greater when the axis of the cylinder is vertical compared to when it is horizontal.
O b. the buoyancy force acting on a submerged and stationary cork is greater than the buoyancy force acting on a submerged and stationary body with the same size
and shape but made out of ironbark (a dense timber).
O c.
an apple and a pear cannot be distinguished by placing them in water
O d. an ice cube (of freshwater) is initially floating in a glass of seawater but melts after some time. After the ice cube has melted, the level of water in the glass will have
risen slightly. (It is assumed that the temperatures of the seawater initially and in the final state are the same.)
e. The weight of any floating body equals the weight of fluid with the same volume as the body.
