What is Buoyancy?

When a body is immersed in a fluid, an upward force is exerted by the fluid on the body. This upward force is called the force of buoyancy or simply buoyancy.

what is the relation between centre of buoyancy and centre of gravity here?

As the force of buoyancy is a vertical force and is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the body, the centre of buoyancy will be the centre of gravity of the fluid displaced.

How to Calculate Centre of Buoyancy?

Centre of Buoyancy calculator uses Centre of Buoyancy for Floating Body = (Depth of Immersed Object in Water)/2 to calculate the Centre of Buoyancy for Floating Body, The Centre of Buoyancy is the point, through which the force of buoyancy is supposed to act. It is defined as half the depth of block in the fluid. Centre of Buoyancy for Floating Body is denoted by B_c symbol.

How to calculate Centre of Buoyancy using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Centre of Buoyancy, enter Depth of Immersed Object in Water (d) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Centre of Buoyancy calculation can be explained with given input values -> 0.525 = (1.05)/2.

FAQ

What is Centre of Buoyancy?

The Centre of Buoyancy is the point, through which the force of buoyancy is supposed to act. It is defined as half the depth of block in the fluid and is represented as B_c = (d)/2 or Centre of Buoyancy for Floating Body = (Depth of Immersed Object in Water)/2. Depth of Immersed Object in Water is the distance from the top of fluids surface to the bottom of the immersed body or object.
