Explain what buoyancy is and what its relationship is with Archimedes' Principle. Describe how to calculate the buoyant force of a submerged body in a fluid and provide a practical example of using this formula in a real-world problem.

was of lower intensity on the Caribbean beach, and the pressure exerted by the water on that beach was also lower.

A person dived into the cold sea water of an Argentine beach and descended to a certain depth. Some time later, they had the opportunity to dive to the same depth in the warm water of a Caribbean beach. Remembering that water density varies with temperature, it is correct to say that the buoyancy experienced by the person

An object of mass M floats in water when the buoyant force acting on it is equal to its mass. Which of the alternatives below correctly describes the relationship between buoyancy and the mass of the object?

If a body is submerged in water, but its density is greater than that of water, what happens?

In a container containing two immiscible liquids, with densities 0.4 g/cm³ and 1.0 g/cm³, a body with a density of 0.6 g/cm³ is immersed, floating on the surface separating the two liquids (as shown in the figure). 10.0 cm³ of the body's volume is immersed in the denser fluid. Determine the volume of the body, in cm³, that is immersed in the less dense fluid.
