Buoyancy questions: Submerged vs Floating
Is there a difference in submerged objects and floating objects? I know in floating objects that the Force of Buoyancy has to equal the Force of the object, but I'm not sure about submerged objects. What exactly is a submerged object?
Another question I have: what exactly does volume have to do with buoyancy?
Lastly: I was given three equations and I wanted to know when and how I used them:
Fnet = pVdisplacementg
Fnet = mg-pVg
mg = pVg (or m=pV)
All help is appreciated and sorry if these questions seem rather like 'duh' questions, but I simply don't understand buoyancy and I don't want to fall behind in class.
