    Buoyancy
In summary, the equation for buoyancy force is the weight of an object in a fluid divided by the weight of the displaced fluid, which is also equal to the weight of the object times the density of the fluid divided by the density of the object. The weight of the displaced fluid can also be represented as w1, and the buoyancy force can be represented as b-force. Additionally, the weight of the object can be calculated using the formula mass x gravity, and the density of an object can be found by dividing the mass by its volume.

I gave you a link. What is the problem?

It does not mention what the =buoyancy equation is. Archimedes principle is limited. I also went to the buoyancy page on wikipedia. not help.

What is the formula for calculating the weight of a body? What's the formula for calculating the density of an object?
 
  • #5
Mass times gravity and mass divided by volume.
 

Related to Need verification of an equation

What is the purpose of verifying an equation?

The purpose of verifying an equation is to ensure its accuracy and validity. This is especially important in scientific research and experiments, as incorrect equations can lead to faulty results and conclusions.

How do you verify an equation?

To verify an equation, you must first understand the variables and their relationships within the equation. Then, you can plug in different values for the variables and see if the equation holds true for each combination. You can also use mathematical techniques such as substitution and simplification to prove the equation's validity.

Why is it important to verify an equation?

It is important to verify an equation because it ensures the accuracy and reliability of your data and results. By verifying the equation, you can have confidence in your findings and conclusions, and others can trust the validity of your work.

What are the consequences of using an unverified equation?

Using an unverified equation can lead to incorrect results and conclusions, which can have serious consequences in scientific research. It can also undermine the credibility of your work and damage your reputation as a scientist.

Are there any tools or resources available for verifying equations?

Yes, there are various tools and resources available for verifying equations, such as mathematical software programs, online equation solvers, and peer-reviewed journals. It is also helpful to consult with other scientists and experts in the field for their insights and feedback on the equation.
