What is the buoyant force on a .2 Liter, 1.6 kg metal donut fully submerged in water (1kg per liter)?
According to Archimede's principle, the buoyant force is given by = weight of fluid displaced by object
= Weight of water displaced by donut
= g * volume of water displaced by donut.....(1)
= density of water = 1 kg/litre
For fully submerged, volume of water displaced by donut = volume of donut
Thus, from equation (1)
Buoyant force = g* volume of donut
= 1 * 9.81 * 0.2 = 1.962 N
