What is the difference between the volume displaced and the object of the volume, according to Archimedes' Principle? Because I'm trying to find logs floating on water and my book gives an equation for buoyant force. Here it is Fb = mg => rho-fluid * V-displaced * g = rho-object * V-object * g. Hope that equation helps. Essentially, my question leads to: shouldn't the V-displaced and V-object be the same thing?
Hope this makes sense. Please ask if you want me to try and make some more sense. :D
