The bouyant force depends on the volume of an object. Specifically, the volume of fluid the object displaces.
More volume means that the object displaces more water. The buoyant force is exactly equal to the weight of the displaced water. Or other liquid.
The buoyant force is zero when the object is just touching the liquid. As the object displaces more volume, the buoyant force increases until the object is completely submerged. Once the object is submerged, it doesn't matter how deep it is, the buoyant force remains constant.
The conclusion of the Archimedes principle is simply that the upward buoyant force that is experienced by a body immersed in a fluid, is equivalent to the weight of the fluid that the body displaces. This allows the volume of an object to be measured by measuring the volume of liquid it displaces after submerging. For any immersed object, the volume of the submerged portions equals the volume of fluid it displaces.
volume of water an object displaces is equal to the volume of the part of the object inside it
It will sink, because it has a greater density (the same volume weighing more)
volume
Archimedes' Principle is the physical law of buoyancy, discovered bythe ancient Greek mathematician and inventor Archimedes.It states that:A body immersed in a fluid (gas or liquid) is acted upon by an upward(buoyant) force, the magnitude of which is equal to the weight of thefluid displaced by the body.A few consequences and corollaries are:- The volume of displaced fluid is equal to the volume of an object fully immersedin the fluid (or to the volume within the fluid for an object only partially immersed).- If the buoyant force on a body in a fluid is equal in magnitude to the weight of thebody, then the body floats.- If the weight of fluid displaced is less than the weight of the object, thenthe object sinks.-- A floating body displaces its weight.-- A sinking body displaces its volume.-- A neutrally buoyant body displaces both its weight and its volume.
It is not the weight of the immersed object but the volume of the object would affect the buoyant force on the immersed object because the buoyant force is nothing but the weight of the displaced liquid whose volume is equal to that of the immersed object.
On its volume.
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.
Density = mass / volume. An object will float if it has less density than the fluid in which it is placed. The buoyant force is equal to the volume (this may be the submerged part of the volume) times the density of the displaced fluid.
