Why does inflating large bags or balloons inside a sunken ship's hull help it rise?

Inflating bags or balloons inside a sunken ship's hull creates buoyant force, which counteracts the weight of the water that the ship displaces. This buoyant force helps to lift the ship towards the surface by reducing its overall density. As more bags are inflated, the ship becomes more buoyant and rises further towards the surface.


Which has higher buoyant force submarine near the surface or near the ocean floor?

The force is the same as long as the volume submersed is the same


What is the relationship between buoyant force and gravity?

buoyant force is always or equal to the force exerted by gravity. that's why an object floats.


Is the buoyant force of a metal equal to the buoyant force of a wood that has the same mass?

Buoyant force is based upon the mass of the water displaced. Therefore, two objects will have the same buoyant force if they have the some volumes.


What is an buoyant force?

A buoyant force equals the weight of the fluid being displaced


What is the relationship of buoyant force and density of liquid?

Buoyant force is directly proportional to the density of the liquid. as the density of the liquid increases, the Buoyant force increases.


What happens if the buoyant force decreases?

As buoyant force decreases then the body starts sinking down.


What are the factors of buoyant force?

The buoyant force depends on the volume of liquid displaced and the density of the liquid.


Which term describes the upward push of a fluid on an object in the fluid?

the 'buoyant' force


What is the relationship between density of a liquid and the buoyant force exerted on the mass?

buoyant force = density of the liquid*Volume*gravity. so the buoyant force is directly proportional to the density of a liquid.


Is buoyant force a contact force?

The buoyant force is a contact force, exerted by contact with a liquid that displaces the liquid within a gravity field. No contact, no force.


What is the effect of buoyant force on the weight of a body which is emerged in a liquid?

Buoyant force reduces the weight of the body
