It reduces the object's apparent weight,
sometimes to zero and even beyond.
no, it depends on how dense the object is
The bouyant force on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid the object displaces.
The bouyant force depends on the volume of an object. Specifically, the volume of fluid the object displaces.
It sinks
Bouyant Force
No, but the difference between the buoyant force and the weight of the object will determine whether it floats or sinks.
The weight of the bouyant force and the fluid displaced by the object are equal.
The weight of the bouyant force and the fluid displaced by the object are equal.
The weight of the bouyant force and the fluid displaced by the object are equal.
The upward bouyant force depends only on the weight of the displaced fluid. The NET force (object's weight - bouyant force) depends on the object's weight and will determine how fast it sinks.
its because the water puts fluid pressure everywhere on the object which creates a bouyant force.
Float. Essentially, an upward force is larger than the downward force, therefore the upward force wins.
