> [!Definition] > The upward buoyant force on a body immersed in fluid is equal to the weight of fluid that the body displaces Formula: $F_{B}= \rho gV$ where $F_B$ = buoyant force $\rho$ = fluid [[density]] $g$ = acceleration by gravity (9.8 m/s2) $V$ = Volume of displaced fluid ![[Untitled 22.jpg]]
