Solution

The correct option is B Value of acceleration due to gravity at that place
The buoyant force is equal to the weight of the water that is displaced by the portion of the object below the surface. This is equal to the volume of the object that is below the surface times the density of water, times g.

Two main factors on which the buoyant force depends are:
(i) Density of the fluid.
(ii) Value of acceleration due to gravity at that place.
