Mechanical Engineering QUESTION #2398
Question 1
Archimedes' principle states that the buoyant force on a submerged (or floating) body equals:
  • Weight of the body
  • Weight of fluid displaced by the body✔️
  • Pressure at the centroid times surface area
  • Volume of the body times its own density
Correct Answer Explanation
Archimedes' principle: buoyant force \(F_B=\gamma_{fluid}\times V_{displaced}\) — equals the weight of fluid displaced.
