P‘ARCHIMEDES’ PRINCIPLE

Density and buoyancy are related through Archimedes' Principle, which states that the buoyant force on an object immersed in a fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. Specifically, the buoyant force equals the volume of fluid displaced multiplied by the acceleration due to gravity. Thus, the buoyant force depends on the density of the fluid and the volume of the object or amount of fluid displaced.
P‘ARCHIMEDES’ PRINCIPLE
- 5. Density and Buoyancy From Archimedes’s Principle : Buoyant Force = Weight of fluid displaced = mg (note : F = ma) = Vg (note : = m ) V Thus FB = V g Where …… FB = Buoyant Force or Upthrust = Density of fluid V = Volume of fluid displaced or the volume of the object that immersed in the fluid.
