explain the meaning of bouyant force
Answers
Answer:
the upward force exerted by any fluid upon a body placed in it.
Buoyancy is the force that causes objects to float. It is the force exerted on an object that is partly or wholly immersed in a fluid. Buoyancy is caused by the differences in pressure acting on opposite sides of an object immersed in a static fluid. It is also known as the buoyant force. Buoyancy is the phenomena due to Buoyant Force.
We can define Buoyancy as:
The upward force applied by the fluid on the object or the body when an object is put in or submerged in the fluid.
The buoyant force depends on:
- The volume of the body immersed which is equal to the volume of fluid displaced.
- The density of the fluid.
Answer-
When an object is wholly or partially placed in a fluid, it experiences an upward force which is the equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object, this force is known as Bouyant force.
