Solution

The two forces that act on a body immersed in a liquid are:

  1. Gravitational Force: This is the force that pulls the body downwards. It is equal to the mass of the body times the acceleration due to gravity.

  2. Buoyant Force: This is the force that pushes the body upwards. It is equal to the weight of the liquid displaced by the body. According to Archimedes' principle, the buoyant force on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object.

So, when a body is immersed in a liquid, it experiences a downward force due to gravity and an upward force due to the buoyant effect of the liquid.
