What are the different forces acting on a body immersed in a liquid?

2 forces act on a body when it is ... Weight&buoyant force


What is buyont force?

As a body gets immersed in the liquid then equal volume of the liquid is displaced. The weight of this displaced liquid would offer an upward force tending to push the immersed body out of the liquid. This force is known to be BUOYANT FORCE.


Why does a body shows loss in weight when immersed in a liquid?

Very interesting question. As we immerse a body of mass M and having volume V is immersed in a liquid then a space of volume V is required for the immersing body. So that space of V is created by the equal volume of liquid vacating that space. Now this liquid should have gone above the initial level of liquid. This is known as expelled or displaced liquid. Its weight though acting down it wants to push up the body out of the liquid region. This push up is known as buoyant force. Hence if B is the buoyant force upward then this would be subtracted from the weight of the immersed body. Hence loss of weight is felt.

What direction does pressure act in liquid?

if you are asking in which direction does a liquid exert pressure on the object? then, liquid exert force in the upward direction which is called buoyancy. Brief description: when a body is partially or wholly immersed, it displaces the fluid. the displaced fluid had tendency to regain it's original position position. due to this, an upward force is exerted on the body by the displaced fluid. this upward force actiong on the the body immersed in a fluid is called upward thrust or buoyancy force or simply buoyancy.

What does the Archimedes principles state?

When an object is immersed in a liquid, the liquid exerts a buoyant force on the object which is equal to the weight of the liquid displaced by the object. This statement is known as Archimedes' Principle. When a solid body is immersed wholly or partially in a liquid, then there is same apparent loss in its weight. This loss in weight is equal to the weight of the liquid displaced by the body. the bouyant force of an object equal to the weight of the fluid that the object displaced .


IN what direction does a liquid exert force?

if you are asking in which direction does a liquid exert pressure on the object? then, liquid exert force in the upward direction which is called buoyancy. Brief description: when a body is partially or wholly immersed, it displaces the fluid. the displaced fluid had tendency to regain it's original position position. due to this, an upward force is exerted on the body by the displaced fluid. this upward force actiong on the the body immersed in a fluid is called upward thrust or buoyancy force or simply buoyancy.


Does the buoyant force act in all ways?

No buoyant force would act only in the upward direction against the weight of the body as it gets immersed in the liquid.


What is the magnitude of the buoyant force?

the simplest and the easiest method to find buoyant force is ................ just take a mug and dip it down to the bottom and now u will exert a vertically upward force this force is buoyant force. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- When you have a body immersed in a liquid, the buoyant force the body will experience is equal to the weight of the liquid displaced by the body which in place is equal to the volume of the body times the specific weight of the liquid. If the body floats on the surface of the liquid, the buoyant force equals the weight of the body and is equal to the weight of the liquid displaced by the body. That's why when it is said that a given ship "displaces 500 tons" it means the ship weights 500 tons which at the same time is the weight of sea water the ship's hull displaces (when in sea water).


State Archimedes' principle?

Archimedes principles state dat wen a body is partially or completely immersed in a liquid the uptrust equal to the weight of the object displaced

Can a force acting perpendicular on a body cancal a force which is acting horizontally on the same body?

no. a force acting perpendicularly on a body cannot cancel a force which is acting horizontally on the same body.!!!!


What is the upward force exerted on a body by that into which it is immersed?

When a body is immersed in water , due to pressure difference between upper surface and lower surface of the body an unbalanced upward force acts on a body . This unbalanced upward force is called Buoyancy force
