Question 1

What does Archimedes' principle state?

  • An object sinks if it's heavier than the fluid.
  • The buoyant force is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced.
  • All objects float in water.

💡 Hint: Think of the force acting on submerged objects.

Question 2

Is buoyancy a downward force?

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Remember how it allows things to float.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Calculate the buoyant force on a 10 kg object submerged in water (density = 1000 kg/m³).

💡 Hint: Use the formula for buoyancy: Buoyant force = density * volume * g.

Question 2

An object has a center of gravity below its metacenter. Discuss the implications for its stability in water.

💡 Hint: Think about how the forces interact when disturbed.
