What are the factors affecting buoyant force?

Open in App

Solution

Buoyancy, or upthrust, is an upward force exerted by a fluid that opposes the weight of a partially or fully immersed object.
The following factors affect the buoyant force:
$F_{b} = - ρ g V$
(i) the density of the fluid ( $ρ$ )
(ii) the volume of the object immersed in the liquid. (V)
(iii) The local acceleration due to gravity (g)
