An object is immersed in different liquids. Does same buoyant force acts on the object due to all the liquids?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

We know that the buoyan force `(F_B)` acting on an object of volume(V) immersed in a liquid of density `(d_1)` is given by `F_B=Vd_1g`. Since different liquids have different densities, different buoyant forces act on the object when immersed in different liquids.
