No. Water is incompressible. Buoyancy is determined by density, and being incompressible the density stays the same. Once an object is submerged there's no more buoyancy to be generated.

The set up of apparatus of Archimedes principle?

If you want to test the principle that the bouyant force on a submerged object is equal to the weight of the water it displaces, here is a procedure. Get a balance scale and weigh the object by hanging the object from a string attached to the scale pan (rather then just placing it on the pan). Next, place the hanging object in a graduated cylinder with a known amount of water. The water level in the graduated cylinder will rise when the object is submerged. The amount the water rises will give you the volume of water displaced and you can calculate the weight of that amount of water knowing the density of water. Next, readjust your balance scale to get the object's weight while submerged. You should find the objects weight has decreased by an amount equal to the weight of the displaced water. Meaning the water is exerting an upward "bouyant" force by this amount.


What was the depth of the water the Lusitania sank in?

Over 200 metres deep


How much water does it take to fill a 16 x 32 pool?

Without knowing the average depth of your pool, it is impossible to know. However, assuming the average depth of your pool is 4 feet, it hold 15360 gallons of water.


How do ocean currents develop?

An ocean current is a continuous, directed movement of ocean water generated by the forces acting upon the water, such as the wind, Coriolis force, temperature and differences and salinity tides caused by the gravitational pull of the Moon and the Sun. Depth contours, shorelines configurations and interaction with other currents influence a current's direction and strength.


Is temperature directly or indirectly related to the solubility of sugar in water?

Temperature is directly proportional to solubility, which means that an increase in temperature will also increase the solubility. Sugar will dissolve faster in hot water.

Why is it easier to lift an object that is underwater than it is to live the object whenit is out of the water?

the water provides a bouyant force proportional to the volume of water displaced.


This force describes how water exerts an upward force on submerged objects?

This is called a "bouyant" force. It is due to the difference in water pressure between the top of the object and the bottom of the object. Water pressure increases with depth.


What is the bouyancy of air?

Bouyant force was described by Archimedes to be equal to the force due to gravity of the substance displaced by the object. So in the case of a balloon in water the bouyant force is equal to the force of weight of the water that the balloon displaces otherwise known as the (volume of the balloon)*(density of water)*gravity. Hope that helps


How is bouyant force of water related to the volume of the body placed inside it?

The buoyant force is equal to the weight of that much volume of water.


What is buognant force?

The force applied by the liquid on the solid immersed in it is called bouyant force .one can experience this force by pushing a cork into a beaker of water.


How much water is nedeed to float a ship?

ships float due to bouyant force how much water they dislace


Why does the weight of an object have nothing to do with bouyant force?

It's only the VOLUME of the displaced water that counts.


Why does bouyant force act upward on an object submerged in water?

Upthrust which is equal to weight of fluid displaced


How can you determine density of plastic that has a lower density than water?

release the plastic in water it will flow because bouyant force of water is greater than platic


What is the differences in fluid pressure create buoyant force on an object?

its because the water puts fluid pressure everywhere on the object which creates a bouyant force.


What is the relationship between water depth an pressure?

The depth of water is directly related to the pressure caused by it. It is caused by gravitational force on the amount of water column in the depth.


Is there bouyant force on an object at the bottom of an ocean?

As long as any part of the object ... doesn't matter how much ... is below the surface of the water ... doesn't matter how far ... there is buoyant force on it.
