Archimedes' Principle Formula
Formula
F_b = ρ × V × g
Where:
- • F_b = buoyant force (N)
- • ρ = fluid density (kg/m³)
- • V = volume displaced (m³)
- • g = gravitational acceleration (m/s²)
The buoyant force equals the weight of the fluid displaced by the object.
Key Points
- • Object floats if F_b > weight
- • Object sinks if F_b < weight
- • Object neutral if F_b = weight
- • Works for any fluid
- • Independent of object shape
