Buoyancy is the ability of an object to float in a liquid, determined by the weight of the object and the weight of the displaced water. Archimedes’ principle explains that an object in a fluid is lifted by a force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. Positive buoyancy occurs when […]
Neutral buoyancy occurs when an object in a liquid or gas maintains a constant depth. If the object is heavier than the medium, it sinks; if it is lighter, it rises. Water is the most common medium for buoyancy, and mammals can achieve neutral buoyancy through controlled breathing. Submarines and divers use mechanical and skill-based […]
