Question:

If there were a reduction in gravitational effect, which of the following forces do you think would change in some respect?

Magnetic force

Viscous force

Electrostatic force

Archimede's uplift

Solution:

Archimedes' principle states that the buoyant force acting on a body is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by it. Since the weight of a body is a gravitational effect, the Archimedes' uplift decreases with reduction in gravitational effect.
