On a boat ride, the skipper gives you an extra-large life preserver filled with lead pellets. When he sees the skeptical look on your face, he says that you'll experience a greater buoyant force if you fall overboard than your friends who wear regular-sized Styrofoam-filled life preservers.

    Answer:True

    Explanation:

    Considering it True or False Question

    The skipper is right as he says that you will experience a greater buoyant Force for an extra-large life preserver.

    According to Archimedes Principle if an object is submerged in a fluid it will displace water according to its weight and will experience the buoyant force equal to its weight.

    For extra-large life, preserver mass is distributed over a large volume thus it experiences a large buoyant force.
