Buoyancy force on object problem

Click For Summary

Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around the buoyancy force acting on an object submerged in water, specifically focusing on the interactions between two objects, A and B, where object A is placed on top of object B, which is fully submerged.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Assumption checking

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants are attempting to identify the forces acting on object B, including questioning whether the buoyancy force is equal to the force applied by object A. There is also clarification sought regarding which object is submerged.

Discussion Status

The discussion is ongoing, with participants exploring the forces involved and clarifying the setup of the problem. Some guidance has been offered regarding the identification of forces, but no consensus has been reached yet.

Contextual Notes

There is some confusion regarding the placement of the objects and the forces acting on object B, which may affect the understanding of the problem. Participants are working with the assumption that only object B is fully submerged.

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?

But that is not the only force acting on B
