Buoyant force is the upward force exerted on an object immersed in a fluid. It is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object.
Buoyant force can be calculated using the equation Fb = ρVg, where ρ is the density of the fluid, V is the volume of the displaced fluid, and g is the acceleration due to gravity.
The shape of the suspended cylinder does not affect the buoyant force, as long as the volume of the displaced fluid remains the same. The buoyant force is determined by the volume of the displaced fluid, not the shape of the object.
The buoyant force on a suspended cylinder can be affected by the density of the fluid, the volume of the displaced fluid, and the acceleration due to gravity. It can also be affected by the depth of the cylinder in the fluid and any external forces acting on the cylinder.
In order to determine the density of an unknown fluid, you can use the buoyant force equation and solve for ρ. You will need to know the volume of the displaced fluid, the weight of the suspended cylinder, and the acceleration due to gravity in order to calculate the density of the unknown fluid.
