Answer:

A) at the rod's geometrical center

Explanation:

Let us assume that the rod is replaced by water. And now this water volume is in translational and in rotational equilibrium.

Therefore, a net upward force must have been exerted by the surrounding liquid which acts at the center of mass of the water volume.

This force determines through the geometric center of the column of the cylindrical water  

Moreover, the force is also independent of submerged body into it

Hence, the first option is correct

Luda [366]
Answer is: <span>The general rule of thumb is that the smaller a substance's atoms and the stronger the bonds, the harder the substance will be. 
If the distance between atoms is higher, lesser will be attraction between electrons and protons of atoms, smaller distance means stronger atoms attraction.

Choose all that apply. Nitrogen has an atomic number of 7. Its atomic mass is 14. Nitrogen has
Goshia [24]
The  atomic  number  of  calculated as  number  of  protons  +  number  of  neutrons. The  number  of  protons  are  the  same  as  atomic  number.  This  implies  that  Nitrogen  has  seven  protons.  To  get  the  the  number  of  neutron  we minus  atomic  mass  from  number  of  protons
     that  is  14-7=7  neutrons
