Forces in Fluids

The buoyant force acting on an object is equal to

• the object's mass

• the object's volume

• the mass of the fluid displaced by the object

• the weight of the fluid displaced by the object

A partially submerged object floats when

• the object's weight is equal to the buoyant force

• the object's mass is equal to the buoyant force

• the object's weight is greater than the buoyant force

• the buoyant force is downward

The force that particles in a fluid exert over an area is called

• pressure

• density

• gravity

• buoyancy

The amount of water pressure that you experience in a pool depends on

• your buoyancy

• the size of the pool

• the volume of water

• how deep you are in the water
