    21.1 Introduction to Buoyancy Buoyancy describes the upward force exerted by a fluid on an object that is partially or completely submerged. This force is responsible for objects appearing to weigh less in fluids and for objects floating or sinking. 21.2 Basic Understanding of Buoyancy Buoyancy occurs due to the pressure difference exerted by a…

    Archimedes’ Principle is an essential concept in fluid mechanics that relates to the buoyant force acting on a submerged object in a fluid. It was first formulated by the ancient Greek mathematician and physicist Archimedes in the 3rd century BCE. Basic Concept and Statement of Archimedes’ Principle Archimedes’ Principle states that an object submerged in…
