Detailed Solution

The above statement is True.
Archimedes' principle states that a body immersed in a fluid is subjected to an upwards force equal to the weight of the displaced fluid. This is the first condition of equilibrium. We consider that the above force, called the force of buoyancy, is located in the centre of the submerged object, which we call the centre of buoyancy.
Or, according to Archimedes' principle,
Upthrust force = weight of water displaced 
Hence, when a body is dipped into water, the Upthrust force acting on the body is equal to the weight of water displaced by the body.
