Which of the following statements accurately describes the state of an object in a fluid when the buoyant force is equal to the weight force on the object? The object experiences no buoyant force and falls through the fluid. The object sinks to the bottom of the fluid. The object rises to the surface of the fluid and floats. The object remains stationary at the level where it was placed in the fluid.

What is true about the volume of displaced fluid for an object that is completely submerged? (1 Point) The volume of displaced fluid is equal to the object's volume. The volume of displaced fluid is less than the object's volume. The volume of displaced fluid is greater than the object's volume. The volume of displaced fluid is not related to the object's volume.ption 4
help A piece of wood floats in water. It measures 49 cm x 12 cm x 11 cm, and has a density of 500 kg/m3. Find the percent of the wood that's underwater, if the density of water is 1000 kg/m3 Hint: Answer should be between 0 and 100 % Buoyancy problem: draw the wood and the forces on it - namely gravity pulling down and the buoyant force of the water pushing up ∑F = 0 the buoyant force = Fb = density of fluid x g x Volume underwater = density of fluid x g x percent * total volume solve for percent

What would be the behavior of an object that was immersed in a fluid if the object and the fluid had the same density? Explain.
Archimedes’ Principle states that the upward or buoyant force on an object within a fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid that the object displaces. For a partially submerged object, you can obtain information about the relative densities of the floating object and the fluid by observing how much of the object is above and below the surface. You can also determine the size of a floating object if you know the amount that is above the surface and the relative densities. You can see the top of a floating iceberg (see figure). The density of ocean water is 1.03 × 103 kilograms per cubic meter, and that of ice is 0.92 × 103 kilograms per cubic meter. What percent of the total iceberg is below the surface?

A cube of mass m = 580 kg is totally immersed in a liquid of density ρ = 1.04 g/cm3. The cube has an edge length of L = 1.7 m and is held at a depth of d = 1.8 m from the top of the cube to the surface of the liquid. Enter an expression for the difference between the fluid pressure acting on the bottom surface of the cube and that acting on the top surface, in terms of the defined quantities and the acceleration due to gravity, g. Calculate the difference, in pascals, between the fluid pressure acting on the bottom surface of the cube and that acting on the top surface. Enter an expression for the difference between the magnitude of the force the liquid exerts on the bottom surface of the cube and the magnitude of the force it exerts on the top surface, in terms of the defined quantities and the acceleration due to gravity, g. This is the magnitude of the net vertical force the liquid exerts on the cube. That force points up and is called the buoyant force, denoted Fb.
Two identical containers are open at the top and are connected at the bottom via a tube of negligible volume and a valve that is closed. Both containers are filled initially to the same height of 1.00 m, one with water, the other with mercury, as the drawing indicates. The valve is then opened. Water and mercury are immiscible. Determine the fluid level in the left container when equilibrium is reestablished. Number Units Water Valve Mercury 100 m 4
