...equal to AF = (3-140) ie, the weight of the displaced fluid. We see, therefore, that this thin cylinder is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the displaced fluid even in a compressible fluid. The same result applies to a body of arbitrary shapes since it... | |

...force depends on the density of the fluid and the volume of the object. An object submerged in a fluid is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the displaced fluid (Archimedes' principle). Thus the difference in weight of an object in air and water equals the... | |
