The bouyant force is equal to the weight of the liquid displaced.
It sinks
Archimedes.
Density and weight d = m/v
The bouyant force on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid the object displaces.
The upward bouyant force depends only on the weight of the displaced fluid. The NET force (object's weight - bouyant force) depends on the object's weight and will determine how fast it sinks.
The buoyant force is determined by the weight of the displaced fluid. The weight of the displaced fluid is in turn determined by the volume of the displaced fluid.
No, but the difference between the buoyant force and the weight of the object will determine whether it floats or sinks.
It reduces the object's apparent weight,sometimes to zero and even beyond.
When it's floating perfectly still, neither sinking nor floating upwards.
The weight of the bouyant force and the fluid displaced by the object are equal.
The weight of the bouyant force and the fluid displaced by the object are equal.
