Input information
Archimedes' principle | mass density of body | water (density): 1 g/cm^3 (gram per cubic centimeter) volume of body | 1 L (liter) fluid density | 1 g/cm^3 (gram per cubic centimeter)
Result
effective gravity | 0 N (newtons) buoyancy force in fluid | 9.807 N (newtons) = 2.205 lbf (pounds-force) fraction of body submerged | 1 mass of body | 1 kg (kilogram) = 2.205 lb (pounds) = 1000 grams volume of replaced fluid | 1000 cm^3 (cubic centimeters) = 61.02 in^3 (cubic inches) = 1 L (liter) = 10 dL (deciliters) = 1000 mL (milliliters) = 0.2642 gallons = 0.03531 ft^3 (cubic feet) = 0.001 m^3 (cubic meters)
Equation
F_net = m_b g - B | B = ρ V_f g R = V_f/V_b | | F_net | effective gravity V_b | volume of body ρ | fluid density m_b | mass of body B | buoyancy force in fluid V_f | volume of replaced fluid R | fraction of body submerged g | standard acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the earth (≈ 9.807 m/s^2)
