Best Answer

The pressure equalizes between a "bouyed" body, and the "bouying" fluid, such that the pressure of the fluid, integrated over the wetted surface, equals the weight of the body.

There cannot be buoyancy without gravity because without gravity there will be no pressure.


On which factor buoyancy depends for a given body?

Depends on the weight of water. Salted water being heavier ,it will offer more resistance to any floating object. Also the atmospheric pressure might play an important role in the buoyancy.

To control my buoyancy as I ascend after a dive I should?

Gradually but continuously exhale. This is not only to control buoyancy, but to prevent damaging your lungs as the air in your lungs expands (due to external pressure decreasing, internal pressure increases)

it depends,if the block sinks weight of the block is larger if the block floats with some part inside then weight=buoyancy if it floats buoyancy is larger


Does increase pressure in a tank increase its buoyancy?

no, it will not, in a compressible gas, the contents will increase in density, thus reducing its buoyancy. in an incompressible liquid or solid, no noticeable change will occur.


What causes certain things to float and others to sink?

@it's called buoyancy because some things are heavier than others .......................... that is a good theory but no, buoyancy does cause it but buoyancy also needs air pressure took keep afloat .
