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
What is the name of the force exerted by fluid on objects immersed in it?
Bouyant force
State the principle of floatation?
A floating object displaces a weight of fluid equal to its own weight.
Why does razor blade float?
In case of a razor blade, the surface area of the blade increases as compared to a steel block of probably the same mass kept in water. Pressure is inversely proportional to area. Hence less pressure acts on the blade in downward direction resulting in floating of it on water surface. Bouyant force exerted on the body increases than weight acting downwards causing the floating.
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.)

When does the bouyant force equal the weight?
When it's floating perfectly still, neither sinking nor floating upwards.
How does Archimedes' principle relate the buoyant force acting on an object to the fluid displace by the object?
The weight of the bouyant force and the fluid displaced by the object are equal.
How does Archimedes principle relate the buoyant force acting on an object to the fluids displaced by the object?
The weight of the bouyant force and the fluid displaced by the object are equal.
How does Archimedes principle relate to buoyant force acting on an object to fluid displaced by the object?
The weight of the bouyant force and the fluid displaced by the object are equal.
Does it depend on the weight of the object itself or on its volume itself in a bouyant force of an object?
The buoyant force on an object depends only on the weight of the fluid displaced: Fb = Vd*ρf*g Vd may not be the volume of the object; for example: if the object is floating on the liquid surface. Also, there may be other forces acting on the object, such as its weight (Mo*g)
A freely floating Astronaut pushes another freely floating astronaut in an artificial satellite What is the force applied by the 1st astronaut on the 2nd one?
The force applied would be zero as a freely floating astronaut feels weightlessness as the gravitational force acting on him is zero.
State the principle of floatation?
A floating object displaces a weight of fluid equal to its own weight.
What is the upward force that fluids exert on all matter?
bouyant force
What is the name of the force exerted by fluid on objects immersed in it?
Bouyant force
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.
