Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFThe correct answer is Equal to its own volume.
Key Points
- Archimedes' Principle states that the buoyant force on a submerged object is equal to the weight of the fluid that is displaced by the object.
- The principle applies to both floating and submerged objects.
- For a totally immersed object, the volume of the fluid displaced is equal to the volume of the object itself.
- This principle helps in determining the volume and density of objects.
Important Points
- Archimedes' Principle is fundamental in the field of fluid mechanics.
- This principle can be used to determine whether an object will float or sink in a fluid.
- It is also used in designing ships and submarines to ensure they remain buoyant.
- The principle is named after the ancient Greek mathematician and inventor Archimedes.
