Lead has greater density than iron and both are denser than water. Is the buoyant force on a lead object greater than, less than or equal to the buoyant force on an iron object of the same volume?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The buoyant force of a liquid on an object is equal to the weight of the liquid displaced by it. Since the lead object and the iron object have the same volume, both of them displace the same amount of water, Hence, the buoyant force on both the objects is the same.
