What Is Buoyancy Force?
The buoyancy (Archimedes) force is the upward force acting on an object submerged in a fluid. It equals the weight of the fluid displaced by the object.
How is it calculated?
How Is It Calculated?
F = ρ × g × V
ρ: fluid density, V: submerged volume.
- Enter the fluid density and the submerged volume.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does an object float?
If the buoyancy force is equal to or greater than the object's weight, the object floats.
