Best Answer

Yes. The floating object is an addition to the mass system, even though it cannot displace its entire volume in the water.

When an object floats the buoyant force is the weight of the object?

If the object is floating, then the buoyant force is equal to the object's weight.


When an object floats the buoyant force is what the weight of the object?

If the object is floating, then the buoyant force is equal to the object's weight.


What can be assumed about the buoyant force on an object floating in water?

The buoyant force on a floating object is equal to the object's weight out of water.


WHAT IS the relation between the Buoyant force and the weight of an object floating in a liquid?

When an object is floating in equilibrium, the buoyant force equals the weight of the object. (The buoyant force is equal to the weight of the displaced fluid)


If the apparent weight of an object can be found by subtracting the buoyant force from the weight of the object what is the apparent weight of the floating object?

Zero.


How do make a floating object to sink?

How does the weight of a floating object compared with the buoyant force acting on the object?

The weight of a floating object and the buoyant force on it must be equal. If they were not equal, then there would be a net vertical force on the object, and it would be accelerating up or down.


Does an object floating far in space have any mass?

It will have the same mass no matter where the object is: free floating out in space or on a planet or on a powerful rocket rapidly accelerating.What will be different is weight, which is only observed while the object is experiencing forces: free floating out in space the object has no weight, but either sitting on a planet or accelerating on a powerful rocket the object does have weight.


What can you say about the buoyant force of an object floats in a fluid?

If the object is floating, then the buoyant force is equal to the object's weight.


How do you define principle?

Any floating object displaces its own weight of fluid.


What happens when the water around objects have a force greater than the object's weight?

The water around floating object's is a measure of that object's "Displacement". For the object to float the weight of displacement must equal the object's weight. If the water around an object is of a greater weight than an object's displacement, then the object will sink.
