Not all objects float. A given object may or may not weigh more than the weight of the liquid which it displaces. So while there is a lifting force, it is not necessarily true that the object in question will actually be lifted by that force. It may still sink.

APEX :An object's buoyant force and weight aren't the same thing* True !- Amburr Minajj !

However, it is still true that when an object does float, it is being lifted by the weight of the liquid that it displaces, and that's what the question asks, Amburr Minajj. I answered the question, and you ostentatiously crossed out my answer and replaced it with an observation that fails to answer the question. This is not an improvement. -- David6023

The buoyant force on an object is least when the object is?

The buoyant force is zero when the object is just touching the liquid. As the object displaces more volume, the buoyant force increases until the object is completely submerged. Once the object is submerged, it doesn't matter how deep it is, the buoyant force remains constant.


Why will be the buoyant force more if the volume of the object is more?

More volume means that the object displaces more water. The buoyant force is exactly equal to the weight of the displaced water. Or other liquid.

Why does the buoyant force keep a ship floating?

The buoyant force on a ship (or any object in a liquid) is equal to the weight of the water the displaces. If this force is greater than the weight of the ship, it will stay afloat.


Conclusion of Archimedes principle in lab?

The conclusion of the Archimedes principle is simply that the upward buoyant force that is experienced by a body immersed in a fluid, is equivalent to the weight of the fluid that the body displaces. This allows the volume of an object to be measured by measuring the volume of liquid it displaces after submerging. For any immersed object, the volume of the submerged portions equals the volume of fluid it displaces.


The buoyant force on an object is equal to the weight of the water it?

The buoyant force on an object is equal to the weight of the water it displaces. This is called Archimedes' principle, which states that "The buoyant force on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object."


What is the magnitude of the buoyant force?

the simplest and the easiest method to find buoyant force is ................ just take a mug and dip it down to the bottom and now u will exert a vertically upward force this force is buoyant force. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- When you have a body immersed in a liquid, the buoyant force the body will experience is equal to the weight of the liquid displaced by the body which in place is equal to the volume of the body times the specific weight of the liquid. If the body floats on the surface of the liquid, the buoyant force equals the weight of the body and is equal to the weight of the liquid displaced by the body. That's why when it is said that a given ship "displaces 500 tons" it means the ship weights 500 tons which at the same time is the weight of sea water the ship's hull displaces (when in sea water).


What method for determinig buoyant force states that the buoyant force on an object in a fluid is an upward force equal to the weight of the fluid that the object displaces?

Boyles law


Does the weight of an object immersed in a buoyant liquid affect the buoyant force on the object?

It is not the weight of the immersed object but the volume of the object would affect the buoyant force on the immersed object because the buoyant force is nothing but the weight of the displaced liquid whose volume is equal to that of the immersed object.


What is the buoyant force on a 240 newton object?

The bouyant force depends on the volume of an object. Specifically, the volume of fluid the object displaces.


How does Archimedes' principle relate to the buoyant force acting on an object to the fluid displaces by the object?

Archimede's Principle states that the buoyant force that an object experiences when immersed in water is equal to the weight of the water displaced by the object.
