24. A block of mass m , density

\rho_{\mathrm{B}}

, and volume V is completely submerged in a liquid of density

\rho_{\mathrm{L}}

. The density of the block is greater than the density of the liquid. The block (A) floats, because

\rho_{\mathrm{B}}>\rho_{\mathrm{L}}

(B) experiences a buoyant force equal to

\rho_{\mathrm{B}} \mathrm{gV}

. (C) experiences a buoyant force equal to

\rho_{\mathrm{L}} \mathrm{gV}

. (D) experiences a buoyant force equal to

\mathrm{m}_{\mathrm{B}} \mathrm{g}
