What is the buoyant force on a 240 newton object?

The bouyant force depends on the volume of an object. Specifically, the volume of fluid the object displaces.


Why will be the buoyant force more if the volume of the object is more?

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 on an object is least when the object is?

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.


Conclusion of Archimedes principle in lab?

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.


What is equal to the volume of water an object displaces?

volume of water an object displaces is equal to the volume of the part of the object inside it


If the weight of an object is greater than the weight of the water that it displaces what will happen?

It will sink, because it has a greater density (the same volume weighing more)


Does the buoyant force on an object depend on the weight or of the volume of the object?

volume


What is archimeded's principle?

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.


Does the weight of an object immersed in a buoyant liquid affect the buoyant force on the object?

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.


Does the buoyant force on a submerged object depend on the volume of the object ir the weight of the object?

On its volume.


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.


What is the relationship between the volume and the buoyancy?

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.
