Question
If $\mathrm{w}=$ weight of a body$\mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{B}}=$ buoyant forceExplain the three conditions which arise when the body is immersed in a liquid.
Step 1
The buoyant force (\( F_B \)) is the upward force exerted by a fluid on a body placed in it. This force is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the body, according to Archimedes' principle. Show more…

A body weighs $5 \mathrm{~N}$ in air and $2 \mathrm{~N}$ when immersed in a liquid. The buoyant force is: (a) $2 \mathrm{~N}$ (b) $3 \mathrm{~N}$ (c) $5 \mathrm{~N}$ (d) $7 \mathrm{~N}$
How is weight affected by buoyant force?
What is the buoyant force experienced in air by an object of $1-m^{3}$ volume? What happens if the object weighs more than the buoyant force?
