Buoyancy

Have you ever drawn water from a well and felt that the bucket of water is heavier when it is out of the water? Have you ever wondered why a ship made of iron and steel does not sink in sea water, but while the same amount of iron and steel in the form of a sheet would sink? These questions can be answered by taking buoyancy in consideration

The tendency of a fluid to exert an upward force on a body immersed partly or wholly in it is called buoyancy. The resultant upward force experienced by a body when immersed in a fluid is called buoyant force or upward thrust.

Buoyancy Force Formula

Buoyancy Force = ρ x V x g

where,
ρ is the density of the fluid
V is the volume
g is the gravitational constant = 9.8 m/s
The SI unit of Buoyancy force is Newton (N).
