How would the buoyant force acting on the floating clay shape change if it were immersed in seawater?

The buoyant force from seawater would be greater than the force from freshwater. This is because seawater is denser than freshwater. This means that a clay shape which floats could carry a heavier load before sinking in seawater than in fresh water.

∙ 13y agoI believe that the force wouldn't change. I think this because buoyant force does not change on the type of water. For example the clay would still push the water out of the way as much as it would in a bowl. The weight is not changing, so neither does the buoyancy. The only thing that would possible make a difference is that the densities of the water at different and because an ocean has a deeper sea level.

An object of volume V is immersed in a liqiud of density P calculate the magnitude of buoyant force acting on the object due to liqiud?
The buoyant force according to Archimedes principle is=weight of liquid displaced=((P*V)*g=PVg)...........g=acceleration due to gravioty.....
What can you say about the forces acting on a stationary object?
The forces acting on a stationary object are balanced. If you were to add up all the forces (taking the directions into account, you would get a total of 0. There are always forces acting on a object, such as gravity, so you cannot say that there are no forces acting on it. You can say that the forces are balanced.
How can the unit of upthrust can be derived?
Pascal is the s.i unit of upthrust
What holds a ship in place?
Water has the power to keep things afloat. If this power is greater than the weight of the ship, the ship will float. But if the ship is too heavy or gets full of water, it will sink. To understand how, we must remember the old Archimedes principle that when a body is immersed in water it is held up by a force equal to the weight of the water it displaces. We call this force buoyancy. Even a metal object, if it is shaped like a wash basin, for example, will be buoyant and float. But if it fills up with water, it will quickly sink. Ship bottoms are shaped so that when a ship leans over, it always becomes level again. The docks of ships act like covers to keep water from getting inside and making the ship too heavy. When it has no cargo a ship floats high in the water. Even when it is fully loaded, a ship will not sink. This is because the load line will be above the water.
What is the amount of buoyant force acting on a steel ball that displaces 3 ml of water in a graduated cylinder?
the equation for buoyant force is Fb=pVg which is the (density of the fluid times the volume displaced times gravity) the density of water is 1000 kg/m^3 and gravity is 9.80 m/s^2 then convert 1dm^3 which is 1.00 x 10^-3 m^3 so....... Fb= (1000kg/m^3)(1.00 x 10^-3 m^3)(9.80 m/s^2)= 9.80 N (newtons)
What is Archimedes force?
Archimedes's principle states that the buoyant force acting on an object immersed or floating in a fluid equals the weight of the fluid displaced.
What is the buoyant force acting on a 1000 pound floating in water?
If it's floating, then the buoyant force on it is exactly equal to its weight. (That makes the vector sum of the vertical forces zero, which is why the object is not accelerating vertically.)
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.
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 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.
How does the weight of a floating object compare with the buoyant force acting on an object?
The weight must be less than the buoyant force. Push down on a floating cork and it will sink below the surface. Stop pushing and remove your hand, and the cork's buoyancy will take over and the cork will float again.
When a boat is partially immersed in water it displaces 600 kg of water. How much is the buoyant force acting on the boat in newton s?
We know that the force of buogant = Density volume . Accerlation of buoyant geqvity given Mass= 600kg. Therefore, force of buogant = mass.
An object of volume V is immersed in a liqiud of density P calculate the magnitude of buoyant force acting on the object due to liqiud?
The buoyant force according to Archimedes principle is=weight of liquid displaced=((P*V)*g=PVg)...........g=acceleration due to gravioty.....
What is the buoyant force acting on you?
The weight of the displaced air is the buoyant force acting on me. But it is very negligible and so we don' t feel it anyway.
Does the buoyant force on a submerged inflated balloon increase as it sinks?
No, it actually might decrease due to balloon being compressed by pressure. Floating objects are governed by Archimedes Principle which states that the weight of a floating object is equal to the water it displaces. A corollary of Archimedes Principle is that the buoyant force acting on an object is equal to the volume of water displaced. Therefore, when a balloon is compressed as it submerges it displaces less water and the buoyant force decreases proportionately.
How does Archimede's principle relate to the buoyant force acting on an object to the fluid displaced by the object?
It says that the buoyant force acting on the object is equalto the weight of the fluid displaced by the object.
When a body is immersed in liquid the force acting on it are?
buoyancy and its weight downward
