How much forces acting on a body when it is suspended in water?

∙ 14y ago
Two forces on a body in calm water:
-- Gravitational force, equal to the weight of the body (when it's in vacuum), directed down.
-- Buoyant force, equal to the weight of the water that would occupy the volume of the body if the body were not there, directed up.
If the body is actually "suspended" ... i.e. it will stay at any depth you place it, and will not rise or sink ...then it has "neutral buoyancy". The buoyant force is exactly equal and opposite to the gravitational force, so the NET force on the body is zero.

What is force acting on a body with uniform motion?
A body in uniform motion has no net force acting on it. That means that either there are no forces at all, or else that all the forces acting on it add up to zero.
What forces are acting on your body as you sit quietly in a classroom?
Gravity.
What forces act on a falling object?
The forces acting on a falling body are gravity and air resistance.
If a moving body has no acceleration does it mean no force acts on it?
There can well be forces acting on the body. It means that the NET FORCE (the vector sum of all the forces) acting on the object is zero.
How is force acting on a falling object?
1.a buoyant force acting on the body upwards due to air . 2.the weight of body acting downwards . this two forces acts.....

What occurs forces acting upon a body are not balanced?
The body accelerates.
What is net effect of two forces acting on a body?
Depe

What forces act on a falling object?
The forces acting on a falling body are gravity and air resistance.
What is equilibrant forces?
The force is said to be "equilibrant" when acting with other forces it would keep the body at rest ie in equilibrium. Hence equilibrant would be equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to the resultant of all the forces acting on the body.

What does the net force equal when three forces are acting on the same body and that body does not move?
zero
Name the two forces acting on a floating boat?
1) FORCE EXERTED BY THE BODY TOWARDS EARTH {WEIGHT} 2) FORCE EXERTED BY WATER ON THE BODY [DUE TO DISPLACED WATER] NOTE:- HERE THERE WILL BE NO VISCOUS FORCE
What are the different forces acting on a body immersed in a liquid?
2 forces act on a body when it is ... Weight&buoyant force
How many forces are acting on a body which is at rest?
In most cases, when a body is at rest, there are two forces acting on it: the force of gravity pulling downward and the normal force pushing upward. These forces are equal and opposite, resulting in a balanced or net force of zero.
