Question

(a) Name the two factors on which the buoyant force depends.

(b) State the relationship between the buoyant force on an object and weight of the liquid displaced by it?

Answer 1

1).Buoyant force is directly propotional to the volume of fluid displaced by solid.

2.Buoyant force is  directly propotional to the density of fluid in which a solid is immersed

Archimedes' principle, a physical law of buoyancy, states that any body completely or partially submerged in a fluid (gas or liquid) at rest is acted upon by an upward, or buoyant, force the magnitude of which is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the body.
