Homework Statement
A cube, with a volume of 0.78 m3 is submerged in a swimming pool. What is the buoyant force acting on the object if it has a mass of 328 kg?
The buoyant force acting on a submerged cube with a volume of 0.78 m³ and a mass of 328 kg can be calculated using Archimedes' Principle. According to this principle, the buoyant force is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the submerged object. Given that the density of water is approximately 1000 kg/m³, the buoyant force is determined to be 7,800 N, calculated as the product of the volume of the cube and the density of water.
