Question
Assertion : Imagine holding two identical bricks under water. Brick A is completely submerged just below the surface of water, while Brick B is at a greater depth. The magnitude of force exerted by the person (on the brick) to hold brick B in place is the same as magnitude of force exerted by the person (on the brick) to hold brick A in place.
Reason : The magnitude of buoyant force on a brick completely submerged in water is equal to magnitude of weight of water it displaces and does not depend on depth of brick in water.
