![]() ![]() ![]() So whatever is this weighed, that much would be the buoyant force. So we can think of it as the weight of this chain of water. That the buoyant force equals the weight of this displaced water. Removing it over here so that we can see that displeased water. It'll actually go up and the height of the water will increase, but I'm just, you know, Gold chain, isn't it? The water that moves away is what we call the displaced water. Now, when that goldĬhain comes over there, that water has to move away, making space for that ![]() Gold chain came over here, that space was occupiedīy this water, right. And we call that as the "buoyant force" and a man called Archimedes tells us that the buoyant forceĪcting on that object equals the weight of theįluid that it displaces. When you put any object in a liquid or gas, in fluids they have a natural tendency And is there any other force acting on it? Yes. Because of gravity, it has its own weight that's pushing it down. Might be familiar with is its own weight. So let's think about the forces which are acting on our chain of gold. If it's being pushedĭown, it's going to sink. It's being pushed up, then it's going to try and float. How would I figure it out? Well, I have to first think about the forces acting on it, right? I mean, if I knew that What's going to happen, but let's say we didn't know. How do I do that? Well, since it's gold in water, you might already know So let's imagine I take a chain of gold and put it in water. That's logically figure out why it doesn't depend on weight, but it depends on density. Something will float or sink, then what does? Turns out, it's their density. So it's not their weight, which that decide whether Yet something like a spanner or a nail, which could be made of the same metal, which is very light compared to the ship can easily sink. We know for example, ships which are very heavy, made of metal can float on water. Decide whether something is going to float or sink in water or any liquid for that matter? Now I should think, ![]()
