Think about how pressure is shared in fluids.
True or False: The buoyant force is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced.
Consider what happens when an object is submerged.
Calculate the pressure experienced at a depth of 15 m in a liquid with a density of 1200 kg/m³.
Remember to enter the values into the formula carefully.
If a wooden block with a volume of 0.1 m³ is placed in a lake and the lake's water density is 1000 kg/m³, what is the buoyant force acting on the block?
