MediumWhat is buoyant force?
(N/A) Buoyant force is the upward force exerted by a fluid on an object that is wholly or partially immersed in it.
According to Archimedes' principle,the magnitude of this force is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object.
Mathematically,$F_b = \rho \cdot V \cdot g$,where $\rho$ is the density of the fluid,$V$ is the volume of the displaced fluid,and $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity.

View Solution$A$ non-conducting body floats in a liquid at $20^{\circ} C$ with $\frac{2}{3}$ of its volume immersed in the liquid. When the liquid temperature is increased to $100^{\circ} C$,$\frac{3}{4}$ of the body's volume is immersed in the liquid. Then the coefficient of real expansion of the liquid is (neglecting the expansion of the container of the liquid):
