The density of lead is greater than the density of iron. If two objects of the same volume, one made of solid lead and one made of solid iron, are submerged in water the buoyant force will be greater on the
Gravitational acceleration = g
Density of water =
Density of lead = 1
Density of iron = 2
1 > 2
Volume of the block of lead = V1
Volume of the block of iron = V2
The two blocks have the same volume therefore,
V1 = V2 = V
Buoyancy force on the block of lead when submerged in water = F1
Buoyancy force on the block of iron when submerged in water = F2
F2 = F1
When the two objects of same volume, one of lead and the other of iron is submerged in water the buoyancy force on both of them will be equal.
