Upthrust = Density of fluid × Volume of displaced fluid × Acceleration due to gravity
This can be written more concisely as:
U = ρVg
Where:
* U is the upthrust (measured in Newtons)
* ρ is the density of the fluid (measured in kg/m³)
* V is the volume of fluid displaced by the object (measured in m³)
* g is the acceleration due to gravity (approximately 9.81 m/s²)
Important Note:
* Upthrust is also known as buoyant force.
* The volume of fluid displaced is equal to the volume of the object submerged in the fluid.
* This formula applies to objects fully submerged in the fluid as well as partially submerged objects.
