Answer:

B = ρ g V_liquid

the thrust is proportional to the density of the liquid

Step-by-step explanation:

The density of a liquid is defined as the relationship between the mass and the volume of the liquid

ρ = m / V

The upward push of the liquid is given by the principle of Archimedes Archimedes establishes that the push is equal to the weight of the dislodged liquid

B = W_liquid

B = m _liquid g

we substitute mass for density

B = ρ g V_liquid

therefore we see that the thrust is proportional to the density of the liquid
