| Archimedes' principle states that the resultant pressure acting on a body immersed in a fluid __________ . |
| A) acts vertically upward through the center of gravity of the displaced fluid and is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced |
| B) will cause the body to have a reduction in mass equal in magnitude to the effective mass of the structure located above the line of floatation |
| C) is proportional in magnitude and direction, regardless of the direction originally developed when the object was submerged |
| D) is applied equal and in all directions throughout the vessel in which it is contained |
