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.

How is buoyancy achieved?

Buoyancy is achieved when an object displaces a volume of fluid (like water or air) that weighs more than the object itself. This creates an upward force that counteracts the object's weight, allowing it to float or rise. Buoyant force is greater when the object is less dense than the fluid it displaces.


If the weight of an object is greater than the weight of the water that it displaces what will happen?

The object will sink because its weight is greater than the weight of the water it displaces. According to Archimedes' principle, the buoyant force acting on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced, so if the object weighs more than the water it displaces, it will not be able to float.


What determines an objects buoyancy?

An object's buoyancy is determined by the relationship between its weight and the weight of the fluid it displaces. If the object weighs less than the fluid it displaces, it will float; if it weighs more, it will sink. This is governed by Archimedes' principle.


An object will float in water if it weighs?

a weight equal to the upthrust of the water


What is the law of buoyancy?

Buoyancy is the rising of an object through a liquid such as water due to the object being less dense than the liquid. Density is the the mass of an object divided by its volume. Density is often expressed in grams/cm³. For a full explanation of how the buoyancy principle works go to the related question "What is the buoyancy principle?" in the Related Questions section below.

Why is the reason an object floats in water?

If the volume of liquid the object displaces weighs more than the object, the object will float. The principle is buoyancy or specific gravity.

An object weighs 20 N It displaces a volume of water that weighs 15 N?

You haven't asked a question. So I'll ask one using your data, and then answer it. Q: What is the apparent weight of the object when it's completely submerged ? A: 5 N.

How balloons and blimps are able to fly in oceans of air?

Balloons float because of the same principal as how ships float: bouyancy. A ship displaces a volume of water. If the ship's weight is less than the volume of water that it displaces, then it will float. Same is true for a balloon. It displaces a volume of air. If the Hydrogen or Helium in the balloon weighs less than the volume of air it displaces, then it will rise.


When does an object sink in water?

An object will sink when it weighs more than the water it displaces (around 62 pounds per cu foot)

Would an object of 3.7 cm float why or why not?

Floats when it displaces its weight of water; sinks when it's displaced water weighs less than the object. Huh?


Is the larger the volume of an object the more it weighs true?

Yes


What weighs volume?

There isn't an actual machine that weighs volume, per-say. The weight of an object can be found, then using an equation or calculator, the weight can be converted into volume.


What happends if the weight of an object is greather than the weight of the water?

I assume you mean "What happens if the weight of an object is greater than the weight of the water it displaces." If so, the answer is simple, it sinks. If an objects weighs less than the weight of the water it displaces, it floats.
