Homework Statement
You are given a density of a fluid, volume of the rubber stopper and density of the rubber stopper. If a rubber stopper sinks to the bottom of the beaker filled with this fluid and stays there, find the buoyant exerted on the object by the fluid.
Homework Equations
Force of buoyancy = weight of the rubber stopper (?)
The Attempt at a Solution
I basically tried using the equation pVg and finding the force of buoyancy but I am not sure if that is 100% correct. Since the stopper is resting on the bottom of the beaker, maybe I need to take the normal force into consideration? Any tips would be great
