Does the weight of an object immersed in a buoyant liquid affect the buoyant force on the object?
It is not the weight of the immersed object but the volume of the object would affect the buoyant force on the immersed object because the buoyant force is nothing but the weight of the displaced liquid whose volume is equal to that of the immersed object.
Why is an immersed object buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the fluid it displaces?
Because buoyancy is a property of fluids, and not the object immersed in them. By comparing densities, you get that buoyancy is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced, because the volume of an object is equal to the volume displaced.
What is meant by upthrust or by buoyant force?
When an object is immersed in liquid then an equal volume of liquid would be displaced to the upper surface. The weight of this expelled liquid would be used as a force to push up the immersed object. Hence it is named as upthrust or buoyant force
If an object weighs 20 n it displaces a volume of water that weighs 15 n What is the bouyant force of the object?
According to Archimedes principle...An object immersed in water experiences a force equal to the weight of the volume of liquid displaced by it. Here the weight of liquid displaced is 15n. So, the upward buoyant force experienced by that object is 15n.
A scientist immerses an irregularly shaped object into a beaker of water and notes how far the water rises.What property of the object is the scientist measuring?
The amount the water rises is dependent of the volume of water displaced by the object - thus it can be used to measure the volume of the immersed object. If the object did not immerse completely - if it floated - the displaced fluid could instead be used to calculate the relative density of the object - when combined with the total volume.
How can an irregular volume be measured?
By placing the object in water and the volume of water displaced is equal to the volume of the object immersed
What did archemedes discover about volume of a objects?
he discovered that volume of object immersed in water =volume of liquid displaced
What is prenciple?
When a body or object is immersed in water that its volume is equal to the water displaced.

What is Archimedes prenciple?
When a body or object is immersed in water that its volume is equal to the water displaced.
Can you say that the volume of fluid displaced equals volume of immersed object by using Archimedes principle?
Yes, assuming that immersed object has no internal voids which the fluid cannot fill (e.g. a hollow sphere).
What is the principle involved in the determination of the volume of an irregularly shaped solid and explain?
When an object is immersed in water the volume of water displaced is equal to the volume of that object as discovered by Archimedes.
If volume is measured in cubic units how might we calculate the volume of an object?
Volume is length*width*height in cubic units. If this is not possible then when an object is immersed in water the water displaced is equal to the volume of the object which was discovered by Archimedes.
What principle was Archimedes famous for?
Archimedes principle, named after the Greek mathematician and astronomer, states that any object, wholly or partially immersed in a fluid, is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. In other words, the volume of fluid that is displaced when an object is placed in that fluid is the volume of the object itself.
When body is immersed in water then water equal to the volume explain this?
The water displaced by the body is equal to its volume.
