Question

An object of volume V is immersed in a liquid of density P. Calculate the magnitude of buoyant force acting on the object due to liquid. Mention the direction of buoyant force.

Answer 1

buoyant force ( F )= Submerged part of body x density of liquid x acceleration due to gravity

Here, F = V x P x g
Answer : buoyant force acts vertically upwards on the object and buoyant force = VPg
 
hope this helps you!!     

Answer 2

buoyant force = volume of body × density of fluid × acceleration due to gravity
=> VPg
the direction of buoyant force is in upward direction in perpendicular to object
