Q

bouyancy

A

the ability of a fluid to excerpt an upward force on an object placed in it

20
Q

when does bouyancy occur

Q

what is the bouyant force

A

a net upward force

22
Q

what is Archimedes principle

A

the bouyant force on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object
