Mathematically, the relationship between buoyant force and the volume of the submerged solid can be expressed using the following formula:
$$F_b = \rho *g* V$$
- F_b represents the buoyant force exerted by the water on the object in Newtons (N).
- ρ is the density of the fluid in kg/m³. In the case of water, the density is approximately 1000 kg/m³.
- g is the acceleration due to gravity on Earth, approximately 9.8 m/s².
- V is the volume of the submerged object or the volume of water displaced by the object in cubic meters (m³).
From this formula, it is evident that the buoyant force is directly proportional to the volume of the submerged solid. If the volume increases, the buoyant force also increases.
