Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the primary cause of the phenomenon of buoyancy?
  • Step 1: Understand that buoyancy is the ability of an object to float in a fluid (like water).
  • Step 2: Recognize that fluids exert pressure in all directions.
  • Step 3: Know that when an object is submerged in a fluid, the pressure at the bottom of the object is greater than the pressure at the top.
  • Step 4: Realize that this difference in pressure creates an upward force on the object.
  • Step 5: Conclude that this upward force is what we call buoyancy, allowing the object to float or rise in the fluid.
