If two identical balls one of iron and the another of aluminium are immersed in a liquid then which of those two balls would experience greater upthrust and why?
RAAUNAK
If both balls have the same dimensions, then the bouyency, or upward thrust, will be the same. This is equal to the weight of water displaced (assuming the liquid is less dense than the aluminum and iron).
Iron has a higher density than aluminum, so the iron ball will have a greater mass. It will therefore sink at a faster rate in the fluid as the aluminum ball.

What are the components of colloids?
Colloids are particles of a certain size...around a micron to a fraction of a micron in diameter. The key characteristic is mass/size...they are insoluble but form a suspension when added to a solvent... That is to say they tend not to precipitate or form a deposit...they float... gravitational forces are balanced by the physical properties of the solvent... think of upthrust.
Does adding salt change the buoyancy of plain water?
Adding salt in water changes the buoyancy of plain water because the salt makes the water denser. This shows when an egg is place in water with salt, it floats, while with plain water, the egg sinks.
The force that acts on objects immersed in or floating on a liquid?
Upthrust from the liquid.
UPTHRUST?
An upward force acting on an object immersed in a liquid or gas. [NOT SOLID]
The resultant upthrust on a body partly immersed in liquid acts through?
the metacentre
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
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.
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
What is the force that determines whether or not the object will float?
It it not about force. It is about Density. If a Solid object is denser than the liquid you place it in,it will sink . If it is less Dense than the liquid , it will float. All objects immersed in a liquid, experience an upthrust equal to the weight of the fluid which is displaced.
What does up-thrust mean?
It is one of the forces it lifts it up
What is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by an object?
The upthrust on a body wholly or partly immersed in a fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced.One of the earliest laws of physics to be correctly stated, this is known as Archimedes' principle.
Research that its easier to lift an object in water than in air?
when a body is immersed in a fluid,it experiencednan upward force called upthrust or buoyant force due to the liquid.It is this force that pushes the body up and supports it.
Does the upthrust on a cube when totally immersed in water depend on the weight of the cube?
It depends on the cube's size, not the cube's weight, due to the amount of displacement caused by a larger sized cube than when compared to a smaller sized cube.
How is upthrust bad?
Upthrust, I don't understand what you mean...
