Pressure and pressure differences in fluids (physics only) scenario: arrows show the size and direction of forces on one object. Which answer best addresses Pressure in liquids (physics only) and the objective to (Physics only) Explain why pressure differences in a liquid produce an upwards force on submerged objects?.

  1. A.In the free-body diagram scenario, apply pressure difference to (Physics only) Explain why pressure differences in a liquid produce an upwards force on submerged objects while keeping force versus pressure separate.
  2. B.In the free-body diagram scenario, mix up force versus pressure and ignore pressure difference.
  3. C.Use a general revision statement without applying Pressure in liquids (physics only) to the situation.
  4. D.Choose a different forces topic instead of explaining (Physics only) Explain why pressure differences in a liquid produce an upwards force on submerged objects.
