A man first swims in seawater then in river water.Compare the weight of seawater and the riverwater displaced by him?

We know that the density of the sea water is more than the density of the river water. So, the weight of displaced sea water is more than the weight of displaced river water. This weight gives the upward Buoyant force to the swimmer. Thus, the apparent weight of the swimmer is less in the sea water. Hence he finds it easier to swim in the sea water.

A ship stays afloat as long as the buoyant force is?
Equal to the weight of the displaced fluid
What scientific rule states that the buoyant force an an object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object?
Since the object is submerged, we know that the buoyant force is not sufficient to overcome the weight of the object, otherwise it would be floating rather than being submerged. Therefore, the buoyant force is equal to the weight of the displaced water, not the weight of the object itself.
How is buoyant force and displacement related?
buoyant force is the result of the displacement of the fluid an object is in. if a fluid is displaced by the volume of an object, the weight of the fluid being displaced is pushing up on that object
An object that weighs 340 N floats on a lake what is the weight of the displaced water?
buoyant force acts on the object from its bottom and push it outside..the magnitude of the buoyant force acting on the object will b equal to the weight of displaced water..
What relation do you find between the weight of the floating body and the waight of water that is displaced?
They are equal.When a boat is floating on water it displaces water equal to its weight(Archimedes Principle). As the density of water is less than boat so water displaced is greater than volume of boat. When the boat sinks water displaced is equal to volume of boat. So less water is displaced in 2nd case and consequently water level goes down.Note - relation between volume(v) mass(m) and density(d) : d = m/v
What is the bouyant force determined by?
The buoyant force is determined by the weight of the displaced fluid. The weight of the displaced fluid is in turn determined by the volume of the displaced fluid.
What is the principle of flotation?
weight of displaced fluid = weight of object
What is the average salinity of seawater by weight?
3.5%
Buoyant force of a rock submerged in water compared to the weight of the water displaced by the rock?
The buoyant force is equal to the weight of the displaced water.
How is the weight of water displaced by a floating body related to the weight of the body itself?
As the body floats then the weight of the body and weight of displaced liquid would be equal to each other. Hence it floats
Who stated the idea that buoyant force is equal to the weight of the displaced liquid?
According to Archimedes' principle, buoyant force is equal to the weight of the displaced liquid.
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.
Newtons principle states that the buoyant force on an object is equal to weight of the fluid displaced by the object?
because bouyant force is the result of the displacement of the fluid an object is in, if a fluis is displaced by the volume of an object the weight of the fluid being displaced is pushing up on the object
Explain Archimedes' principle?
Archimedes' Principle relates the weight of a fluid displaced to the object placed in the fluid. If the weight of the fluid displaced is less than the object's weight ,then the object sinks. When the weights of the object and displaced water are equal, the object will float.
What is the relationship between the weight of displaced liquid and the buoyant force on the body?
Boyant force on a body will equal weight of displaced liquid or the body keeps sinking
Is it true that If an object floats the volume of the displaced water is equal to the volume of the portion of the object that's underwater?
the weight of the displaced water is equal to the weight of the object
Is the weight of a submerged object equal to the weight of the displaced fluid?
No, it is equal in volume.
