Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In which of the following scenarios does the buoyant force act?
  • Step 1: Understand what buoyant force is. It is the upward force that a fluid exerts on an object that is submerged in it.
  • Step 2: Identify the types of objects that can experience buoyant force. This includes any object that is in a fluid, such as water or air.
  • Step 3: Recognize that buoyant force acts on floating objects, like a boat on water, because they are partially submerged.
  • Step 4: Note that buoyant force also acts on submerged objects, like a rock at the bottom of a pool, even if they are not floating.
  • Step 5: Remember that balloons filled with gas experience buoyant force when they are in the air, causing them to rise.
