How strong is buoyant force?

It depends on Boyle's Law - the upthrust depends on the weight of fluid displaced. Law - the upthrust equals the weight of fluid displaced.


What are factors affecting upthrust?

upthrust=buoyant force=weight of the body immersed in d liquid so gravity and mass is a cause of upthrust as weight of a body=mass* gravity


The force is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by an object?

Upthrust.


What does byoyancy mean?

The upward force exerted by a fluid on the immersed body is called byoyant force or upthrust. The upthrust acts at the centre of gravity of thhe displaced fluid, which is called the centre of buoyancy.


The force of a fluid that pushes an object up is called?

bouyancy or upthrust


What is cause of upthrust force?

It is when an object floats due to balanced force between upthrust of the fluid (pushing upwards) and weight of the object (pushing downwards).


Why might different fluids have different forces of buoyancy?

When a solid body is totally immersed in a fluid, the upthrust is equal to the weight of fluid displaced. This weight is the volume of the solid body times the density of the fluid. Fluids of different densities will produce different upthrusts.Note. If the body is floating on the surface of the fluid, the upthrust does not depend on the density of the fluid. The floating solid will sink into the fluid until the upthrust exactly equals its weight, then it won't sink any deeper. In flotation the buoyancy force always equals the weight of the body, whatever the fluid's density.


What is upthrust during fluid friction?

During the period when the liquid is passing through a material, like pipe. The force which is applied from the back to push the liquid upwards is known as upthrust


Why do large cruise ships float in water?

This is because they displace a volume of water which has a weight equal to their weights. The upward upthrust is equal to their weights (upthrust = weight of fluid displaced)


What happens to the body when the upthrust is less than the weight of the object'?

An object that is COMPLETELY submerged in water has its Upthrust equal its weight, but it doesn't necessarily float, an object could be at the rock-bottom of the ocean, and it would still have its upthrust equal to its weight. This is because the upthrust is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced, and so while the objects volume remains constant, and assuming the density of the fluid it displaces is constant.. The upthrust remains constant, this is unless the object compresses and has its density altered.. I know I didn't directly answer your question, but I hope this helps.. Even if a little.


What is upthurst?

This is the name given to a bouyancey force. When an object diplaces a fluid, the amount of upthrust received is proportional to the volume of fluid displaced. When an object is floating then the upthrust is equal to the objects weight. When more people get on to a boat, the boat sinks further into the water, displacing more water so that the upthrust increases to balance the new weight. If an object sinks then the amount of upthrust it receives is less than the weight so the object falls. Just because it sinks doesn't mean that there is no upthrust, there is. This is why heavy objects appear lighter if you place them in water.


What is the reason for upthrust?

There are several answering services that also have this question or similar ones on it. From answerbag.com, the question asked was: what is upthrust? The answers were: * Upthrust is the upward force exerted on an object in a fluid. It arises as a result of the difference in pressure exerted by the fluid on the surface of the object at different depth. * Up thrust is the force that pushes objects up and makes them seem to loose weight in a fluid (note - a fluid means a liquid or gas) When you are standing on the ground gravity keeps you down but upthrust stops you from falling into the earths core. In a way upthrust makes things hard!! Because if it didn't exist solids wouldn't be solid.An objects density effects how it floats. * Density = Mass * ------- * Volume * Upthrust is also called buoyancy. It is the upward force produced on an object in a fluid (such as air or water). The force is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. If that weight is greater than the weight of the object, the object will float in the fluid. If it is equal, it will sit suspended. If it is less, it will sink, but the object will weigh less than it would in a vacuum. Hence, it is easier to pick up a heavy object in water than in air - the amount of displaced water weighs more than the equivalent volume of air, therefore water produces a greater upthrust. In wiki answers the question asked was: = What does upthrust mean? = The answer was: Upthrust is a type of force that pushes upwards
