Question

State the relationship between the buoyant force on an object and the weight of the liquid displaced by it?

Answer 1

1. When we submerge an object in a fluid, an upward force is experienced by the object.
2. The fluid applies this force on the object, which causes it to rise, and we call this force buoyant force.
3. The magnitude of this force is equal to the amount of weight of the liquid displaced. This is also called Archimedes' principle.
