Question

(a) Define the buoyant force. Discuss the factors on which buoyant force depends.
(b) State Archimedes’ principle. Explain the law of floatation of bodies in a liquid.

Answer 1

Explanation:

1. buoyancy buoyancy force is a force which is exerted by fluids on the body which is upward force or perpendicular force. it depends upon the density of fluid.
2. Archimedes principle the displacement of water is equals to weight of the object put in the water or fluid.
3. as the water displaced by the object equal to mass of the object so the area is bigger so the displacement will be bigger and third floting. can be seen
