Buoyancy Force Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Buoyancy Force = Specific Weight of Liquid*Volume of Object
F_b = Y*V_o
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Buoyancy Force - (Measured in Newton) - Buoyancy Force is an upward force exerted by a fluid that opposes the weight of a partially or fully immersed object.
Specific Weight of Liquid - (Measured in Newton per Cubic Meter) - The Specific weight of liquid is also known as the unit weight, is the weight per unit volume of the liquid.
Volume of Object - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Volume of Object is the volume occupied by a submerged or floating object in a fluid.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Specific Weight of Liquid: 9.81 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter --> 9810 Newton per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)
Volume of Object: 54 Cubic Meter --> 54 Cubic Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

F_b = Y*V_o --> 9810*54

Evaluating ... ...

F_b = 529740

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

529740 Newton --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

529740 Newton <-- Buoyancy Force

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

Force Acting in x Direction in Momentum Equation

Go Force in X Direction = Density of Liquid*Discharge*(Velocity at Section 1-1-Velocity at Section 2-2*cos(Theta))+Pressure at Section 1*Cross Sectional Area at Point 1-(Pressure at Section 2*Cross Sectional Area at Point 2*cos(Theta))

Force Acting in y-Direction in Momentum Equation

Go Force in Y Direction = Density of Liquid*Discharge*(-Velocity at Section 2-2*sin(Theta)-Pressure at Section 2*Cross Sectional Area at Point 2*sin(Theta))

Fluid Dynamic or Shear Viscosity Formula

Go Dynamic Viscosity = (Applied Force*Distance Between Two Masses)/(Area of Solid Plates*Peripheral Speed)

Center of Gravity

Go Centre of Gravity = Moment of Inertia/(Volume of Object*(Centre of Buoyancy+Metacenter))

Buoyancy Force Formula

Buoyancy Force = Specific Weight of Liquid*Volume of Object
F_b = Y*V_o

What is Buoyancy?

Buoyancy or upthrust is an upward force exerted by a fluid that opposes the weight of a partially or fully immersed object. In a column of fluid, pressure increases with depth as a result of the weight of the overlying fluid.

How to Calculate Buoyancy Force?

Buoyancy Force calculator uses Buoyancy Force = Specific Weight of Liquid*Volume of Object to calculate the Buoyancy Force, Buoyancy Force is the force that causes objects to float. Buoyant Force is the upward force exerted by a fluid that opposes the weight of an object immersed in a fluid. Buoyancy Force is denoted by F_b symbol.

How to calculate Buoyancy Force using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Buoyancy Force, enter Specific Weight of Liquid (Y) & Volume of Object (V_o) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Buoyancy Force calculation can be explained with given input values -> 529740 = 9810*54.

FAQ

What is Buoyancy Force?

Buoyancy Force is the force that causes objects to float. Buoyant Force is the upward force exerted by a fluid that opposes the weight of an object immersed in a fluid and is represented as F_b = Y*V_o or Buoyancy Force = Specific Weight of Liquid*Volume of Object. The Specific weight of liquid is also known as the unit weight, is the weight per unit volume of the liquid & Volume of Object is the volume occupied by a submerged or floating object in a fluid.
