Theoretical Background

Physics describes the fundamental mechanism of the universe. The Buoyant Force (Archimedes) is an essential tool for understanding Buoyant Force (Archimedes) in quantitative terms. Calculate buoyant force Fb = ρVg.

Mathematical Formulation

The relationship between the variables is governed by the following equation:

Result = rho × v × 9.8
Eq 1.1: Governing Formula

Variable Legend

Symbol Parameter Unit
rho Fluid Density kg/m³
v Displaced Volume

Practical Calculation Example

Problem

Calculating the result when:

  • Fluid Density = 90 kg/m³
  • Displaced Volume = 40

Solution

Substituting into Eq 1.1:

Result = 90 × 40 × 9.8
