Question 1

What does Archimedes' principle state?

  • A. An object will float if its density is less than the fluid's density
  • B. The buoyant force is equal to weight of fluid displaced
  • C. Buoyancy only applies to ships
  • D. Only solid objects experience buoyancy

💡 Hint: Think of how objects behave in water.

Question 2

True or False: The center of buoyancy is the centroid of the displaced volume.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Relate this to how shape affects buoyancy.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A 2 m³ block of wood with a density of 600 kg/m³ is floating in water. Calculate the depth to which the block is submerged. (Density of water = 1000 kg/m³)

💡 Hint: Use the volume ratio based on densities.

Question 2

An object has a weight of 300 N when submerged in a fluid. If the buoyant force acting on it is 350 N, will the object sink, float, or be neutrally buoyant?

💡 Hint: Compare the weight to the buoyant force to assess floating vs. sinking.
