[[Fluids]] # Summary * Fluid particles obey Newton laws. * Buoyant force is a net upwards force on an object in a fluid, caused by pressure and increases with depth. * Buoyant force equals weight of fluid displaced: $F_b=pVg$ where p is fluid density and V is displaced volume. * For a floating object, buoyant force equals the object's weight: $V_{submerged}/V=p_{object}/P_{fluid}$ * Object floats when density is less than fluids and sinks when it's greater.
