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.
