Question

For a floating body how is its weight related to the buoyant force​

Answer 1

Refer to the answer below :-

Answer 2

Answer:

An object will float if the buoyancy force exerted on it by the fluid balances its weight, i.e. if FB=mg F B = mg . But the Archimedes principle states that the buoyant force is the weight of the fluid displaced. So, for a floating object on a liquid, the weight of the displaced liquid is the weight of the object.
