A body weighing 10N is submerged in water. The weight of the displaced liquid is 6N. How is the buoyancy value?

P1 = 10 Newton – body weight in air;

P2 = 6 Newton – the weight of the displaced fluid into which the body was immersed.

It is required to determine A (Newton) – the value of the Archimedean (buoyancy) force.

According to Archimedes’ law, the weight of the displaced water is equal to the weight of the body immersed in the liquid. Then:

A = P1 – P2 = 10 – 6 = 4 Newtons.

Answer: the buoyant (Archimedean) force is 4 Newtons.
