Question
An object is floating in a liquid, kept in a container. The container is placed in a lift. Choose the correct option(s).(A) Buoyant force increases as lift accelerates up.(B) Buoyant force decreases as lift accelerates up.(C) Buoyant force remains constant as lift accelerates.(D) The fraction of solid submerged into liquid does not change.
Step 1
The buoyant force is given by the formula $F_{b0} = V \rho g$, where $V$ is the volume of the object submerged in the liquid, $\rho$ is the density of the liquid, and $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity. Show more…

Choose the best option: An object is totally submerged in a fluid. The buoyant force that is exerted on the object is proportional to ... Select one: A. the density of the object. B. the volume of the object. C. the density of the fluid. D. A and B
A solid floats in a liquid in the partially submerged position: (a) the solid exerts a force equal to its weight on the liquid (b) the liquid exerts a force of buoyancy on the solid which is equal to the weight of the solid (c) the weight of the displaced liquid equals the weight of the solid (d) all the above
(a) Derive an expression for the buoyant force on a spherical balloon, submerged in water, as a function of the depth below the surface, the volume of the balloon at the surface, the pressure at the surface, and the density of the water. (Assume water temperature does not change with depth.) (b) Does the buoyant force increase or decrease as the balloon is submerged? (c) At what depth is the buoyant force half the surface value?
