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

Open in App

Solution

Archimedes' principle also states “When a body is immersed in a liquid, an upward thrust(buoyant force), equal to the weight of the liquid displaced, acts on it.”
Hence, Buoyant force = the weight of the liquid displaced by the object.
