199. Choose the wrong statement ?
The center of buoyancy is located at the center of gravity of the displaced liquid
For stability of a submerged body, the center of gravity of body must lie directly below the center of buoyancy
If e.g. and center of buoyancy coincide, the submerged body must lie at neutral equilibrium for all positions
For stability of floating cylinders or spheres, the e.g. of body must lie below the center of buoyancy
All floating bodies are stable

200. Choose the wrong statement?
Any weight, floating or immersed in a liquid, is acted upon by a buoyant force
Buoyant force is equal to the weight of the liquid displaced
The point through which buoyant force acts, is called the center of buoyancy
Center of buoyancy is located above the center of gravity of the displaced liquid v

202. Choose the wrong statement________________?
Viscosity of a fluid is that property which determines the amount of its resistance to a shearing force
Viscosity is due primarily to interaction between fluid molecules
Viscosity of liquids decreases with in-crease in temperature
Viscosity of liquids is appreciably affected by change in pressure
