Explain how differences in fluid pressure create buoyant force on an object

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Water pressure is exerted on all sides of an object. The pressure exerted horizontally on the sides cancel each other out: The pressure exerted.] at the bottom is greater than that exerted at the top because pressure increases with depth. This creates an overall upward force on the object which is called the buoyant force.
