Based on Archimedes Principle, for totally immersed objects, what is the volume of the fluid displaced by the object?

Based on Archimedes Principle, for totally immersed objects, what is the volume of the fluid displaced by the object? Correct Answer Equal to its own volume

The correct answer is Equal to its own volume.

Key Points

  •  Archimedes Principle
    • The upward buoyant force that is exerted on a body immersed in a fluid, whether partially or fully submerged, is equal to the weight of the fluid that the body displaces and acts in the upward direction at the center of mass of the displaced fluid.
  • It is very useful for calculating the volume of an object that does not have a regular shape.
  • The oddly shaped object can be submerged, and the volume of the fluid displaced is equal to the volume of the object.
  • It can also be used in calculating the density or specific gravity of an object.
  • The buoyant force is the net upward force on any object in any fluid.
