Formula for Buoyant Mass m(b)
m(b) = m(object) x (1- (p(fluid)/ p(object)))
m(object)= true mass of the object
p(object)= average density of the object
p(fluid)= average density of the surrounding fluid
If the fluid density is greater than the average density of the object, the object floats. If less, the object sinks.
Formula for Buoyant Force:
F(buoyant) = -pVg
p = density of the fluid
V = volume of the object being submerged
g = standard gravity on Earth (~ 9.81 N/kg)
Archimedes Principle: "When a solid body is partially or completely immersed in water, the apparent loss in weight will be equal to the weight of the displaced liquid."
Formula for Density of immersed object relative to the density of the fluid object is immersed in:
Relative Density = Weight / (Weight - Apparent Immersed Weight)

Materials that sink and float in the water?
material that sink has a density above that of water and does not obey the law of floatation.
What is the law of floatation?
It states that a floating body diplaces equal mass of liquid to it's own mass on the fluid it floats on.
What do you call something used to help people float?
Floatation device. Life buoy. Mae West. Cary float.
Law of flotation and how does it work?
law of floatation states that density of objects less than that of the liquid will float and the objects with density more than that of the liquid will sink
State the principle of floatation?
A floating object displaces a weight of fluid equal to its own weight.
What is forth floatation process?
lots of money helps with the forth floatation process
Is float and floatation the same?
no
What is the physical property of wood?

What are the Floatation devices used in swimming?
Two floatation training aids used are floats (for kicking training) and pullbuoys (for pulling training.)
What is the independent variable of a egg floatation project?
no

When a submarine pumps water out of its floatation tanks its density decreases and it floats?
Yes, when a submarine boat pumps water out of its flotation (not floatation) tanks, the submarine should rise.
What is oil floatation process?
floatation of any substance depends completely on its density. oil is more denser than water due to which it floats. this is the floation process of oil.
