Understanding Buoyancy and Archimedes' Principle

Buoyancy is the upward force experienced by a body when immersed in a fluid, counteracting gravity. This force is determined by Archimedes' principle, which states that the buoyant force is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced. For floating bodies, the weight of the body equals the buoyant for

Understanding Why Objects Float or Sink in Fluids

Archimedes' principle explains the buoyancy force that causes objects to float or sink in fluids based on the weight of the displaced fluid. The buoyant force must equal the object's weight for it to float. Objects less dense than the fluid will float, while those denser will sink. Discover the scie
