F:: buoyancy force (N)
p: density of fluid (kg/m")
V: volume submerged (m3)
g: acceleration due to gravity (m/s?)
F: weight of boat
Buoyancy is the upward force on
an object submerged in a fluid
Objects submerged in a fluid experience a force
that pushes them towards the surface. The
buoyant force is directly proportional to the
density of the fluid, p, the volume of the fluid
displaced, V, and the acceleration due to
gravity, g:
Fb=p• V. g
