प्रश्न
Why does a block of wood held under water rise to the surface when released ?

उत्तर
A wooden block held under water floats on the surface on release because it is less dense than water. A substance floats if it is less dense than the fluid in which it is immersed after the external force is withdrawn from it.

The weight of fluid displaced determines the buoyant force on an object.
Assertion (A): The buoyant force on a submerged rigid object can be considered to be acting at the center of mass of the object.
Reason (R): In rigid body, force distributed uniformly through its volume can be considered to be acting at the centre of mass of the body.
