Buoyancy

This study guide covers buoyancy and apparent weight. It explains the concept of buoyant force (Fb) as the upward push by a fluid, equal to the weight of the displaced fluid (Archimedes' Principle). It also covers calculating Fb using volume, density, and gravity, and how it relates to an object floating or sinking. The guide then explains apparent weight as how heavy an object feels in a fluid, and how to calculate it. Finally, it connects these concepts to other units like fluids, forces, and density, and provides practice questions with solutions.
