A wood block weighing 5 n is floating on water. What can we say about the magnitude of the buoyant force on the block? group of answer choices

Respuesta :

The magnitude of the buoyant force on the block will be 5 N. Resultant force on the block is zero.

What is buoyant force ?

Buoyant force also known as upthrust, is an upward force exerted by a fluid that resists the weight of a partly or completely submerged object.

The weight of the overlying fluid causes pressure to rise with depth in a column of fluid.

The buoyant force on an object fully submerged in a liquid depends on the object's volume. And the density of the liquid.

If the block is not accelerating the net force is to act on the block is zero.

Hence,the magnitude of the buoyant force on the block will be 5 N.
