Detailed Solution

The above statement is True.
When an object is immersed in a fluid, the direction of gravitational force is downward, whereas buoyancy force acts in the upward direction. Therefore, if the gravitational force acting on the object is more than the buoyant force exerted by water, the object sinks into the water. Conversely, when the buoyant force on the object is more than the gravitational force, then the object floats on the surface of the water. This phenomenon of experiencing an upward force by an object when immersed in a fluid is called buoyancy.
