Buoyancy force on object problem

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the forces acting on object B, which is fully submerged in water and has object A placed on top of it. Participants clarify that the buoyant force acting on object B is not solely equal to the weight of object A, as other forces are also at play. It is emphasized that the buoyant force is determined by the volume of water displaced by object B. The conversation highlights the need to consider all forces, including the weight of object B and the buoyant force, to fully understand the dynamics. Ultimately, the buoyant force and the weight of object A are part of a larger system of forces acting on object B.

A object B is place on top object B and the object B is fully submerged in the water. So is the bouyance force equal the force apply by object A on object B? Please help.

What do you think? Identify all the forces acting on object B.
 
So that means the force acting on B is thr weight of A right?

I assume you mean object A is placed on object B?

Only object B is fully submerged, right?
Edit:

But that is not the only force acting on B

Ya only B is fully submerge
 

Thread 'Errors and significant figures'

I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
