Question

What is the net force experienced by a floating object? Explain.

Please help ​

Answer 1

Answer:

The buoyant force comes from the pressure exerted on the object by the fluid. Because the pressure increases as the depth increases, the pressure on the bottom of an object is always larger than the force on the top - hence the net upward force. The buoyant force is present whether the object floats or sinks.

Answer 2

When an object is floating in a liquid it experiences a downward force that is weight due to gravity of earth and buoyant force which is upwards due to the liquid (this is the force which acts to keep it floating). Since it is floating the net force on it is 0 that it is in equilibirum.
