Sink ...
If the weight of the object is higher than the buoyant force the object SINKS. And the opposite happens if the weight is lower than the buoyant force. If it is equal, the object neither sink nor float, it is neutrally buoyant.
If you just set the object in the water, the buoyant force never becomes greater than the object's weight. It sinks and sinks, displacing more and more water, building up more and more buoyant force, until the buoyant force is equal to its weight. At that point, the net force on it is zero, it stops sinking, and it stays right there (floating). The only way you can produce a buoyant force greater than its weight is to force it further down and hold it there. Since the buoyant force is greater than its weight, as soon as you let go, the net force on it is up, and it'll rise, partly out of the water until the buoyant force drops to equal its weight, and again ... it'll stay right there. So the answer to the question is: An object can't stay indefinitely in a position where the buoyant force is greater than its weight. If that happens, then it lifts some of itself out of the water, reducing the buoyant force, until the buoyant force is again just equal to its weight.
what object will not sink or float but will stay suspended in the middle of water
Objects will float on water because they aren't as dense as the water itself. A ship will float because there are a lot of compartments filled with air, which is not as dense as water.The above answer is also valid but according to the Archimedes Principle, the buoyant force on a submerged object is equal to the weight of the fluid that is displaced by the object.
Floating, or buoyancy, depends on the density of the liquid and the density of the object. Water is a pretty dense liquid, and things float in it; they are buoyant. Oil or gasoline are less dense; things that float in water may not float in oil.
The buoyant force is what causes and object to float. If the buoyant force is less than the object weight, it sinks. If the buoyant force is greater than the objects weight, it rises to the top. If it is equal, the object will float in the middle, neither rising or falling.
If the weight of an object is greater than its buoyant force, then it will not float - it will sink.
An object floats when the buoyant force is equal to the object's weight. An object sinks when the buoyant force is less than the object's weight.
no because buoyant means how much can an object float and weight means how much it weighs.
buoyant force =s weight
Buoyant force.The buoyant force is the net upward force exerted by a fluid on a submerged or immersed object.Archimedes' principle states that the buoyant force is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced.An object will float in a fluid if the buoyant force on the object is equal to the object's weight.
In that case, such an object will float.
no because buoyant means how much can an object float and weight means how much it weighs.
The same object is more buoyant in a denser fluid, and is more likely to float, than in a less dense one. That's why tennis balls float in water but not in air.
No. The buoyant force on an object is the portion of its weight that appears to vanish when the object is in any fluid (could be either a liquid or a gas). If the object happens to float in a particular fluid, then the buoyant force at that moment is equal to the object's weight. Notice that the buoyant force on an object will be different in different fluids.
The object would float in a given liquid.
The force that helps a ship float is the buoyant force. The buoyant force is exerted by a fluid upwards that opposes the weight of the object immersed.
