In which direction will the drag force act if the gravitational force is less than the buoyant force?

If the gravitational force is less than the buoyant force, the drag force will act in the opposite direction of the gravitational force.


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.


Does the buoyant force act in all directions?

Yes, but any bit of force in any horizontal direction is always exactly cancelled by an equal-size bit of force in the opposite horizontal direction, so there's never a NET horizontal buoyant force. It's only apparent in the upward vertical direction.


How does buoyant force act on an object?

The buoyant force acts in an upward direction on an object immersed in a fluid. It is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. If the buoyant force is greater than the object's weight, the object will float; if it is less, the object will sink.


In which direction does a buoyant act on an object?

up


In which direction does the buoyant force work?

Why does buoyant force act upward?

The buoyant force on an object submerged in a fluid is caused by the pressure difference between the top and bottom of the object. To overcome the gravitational force, the buoyant force acts in the upward direction. The larger pressure at greater depth pushes upward on the object.


Does An object's buoyant force and weight mean the same thing?

No, an object's buoyant force and weight are not the same thing. Weight is the force with which gravity pulls an object downward, while buoyant force is the force exerted by a fluid on an object immersed in it that opposes the object's weight. buoyant force can act in the opposite direction of weight if the object is floating in a fluid.


When a body is immersed in a liquid name the two forces acting on it and state their direction of action?

The two forces acting on a body immersed in a liquid are buoyant force (upward direction) and gravitational force (downward direction). Buoyant force acts in the opposite direction to the gravitational force.


What is the direction of the buoyant force?

If you're talking about something in say a tank of water, the buoyant force points up and opposes the downward force of gravity......


Is buoyancy a contact force?

Contact forces are forces that act at a point of contact between two objects. Buoyant force is an example of a contact force.


What direction does buoyant force point?

the buoyant force points up and gravity goes down that's why we are balanced.
