If there were no gravity. which of the following will not be there for a fluid?

A drinking straw is dipped in a pan of water to depth d from the surface (see figure below). Now water is sucked into it up to an initial height $h_0$ and then left to oscillate. As a result, its height $y$ from the surface of the water varies periodically. Ignoring damping, the equation for $y$ is ( $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity):

$Assertion :$ The buoyant force on a submerged rigid object can be considered to be acting at the centre of mass of the object.
$Reason :$ For a rigid body a force field distributed uniformly through its volume can be considered to be acting at the centre of mass of the body.
