Problem #44

Archimedes' power

Evaluate the statement: the concept “Archimedes’ Law” means: The buoyant force is found as the difference in the dynamometer readings in the air and when the body is immersed.

Given
Find

  1. The force depends on the density of the medium, the acceleration of gravity and the displaced volume, but not on the depth in a homogeneous medium.
