The buoyant force on an object can be calculated by multiplying the density of the fluid by the volume of the fluid displaced by the object and the acceleration due to gravity (Fb = ρVg).
The weight of an object in water can be calculated by subtracting the buoyant force from the weight of the object (Ww = W - Fb).
An object will float if its weight is less than the buoyant force acting on it, and it will sink if its weight is greater than the buoyant force.
Yes, the shape and size of an object can affect its buoyancy. Objects with a larger surface area will experience more buoyant force, while objects with a denser and more compact shape will experience less buoyant force.
The density of an object plays a crucial role in its buoyancy. Objects with a lower density than water will float, while objects with a higher density will sink. The density of an object is determined by its mass and volume.
