What if an objects weighs 135 newtons how much is the buoyant force to make a neutral buoyancy?
The buoyant force is 135N
A balloon weighs 1N is suspended in the air drifting neither up nor down How much buoyant force acts on it?
1 newton. The system is in equilibrium with no normal force therefore the boyant force must equal the force of gravity.
A rock suspended by a weighing scale weighs 5 N out of water and 3 N when submerged in water What is the buoyant force on the rock?
The buoyant force is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced. In this case, there are 2 Newtons of force, leading to the buoyant force equaling 2 Newtons.
What is the law of buoyancy?
Buoyancy is the rising of an object through a liquid such as water due to the object being less dense than the liquid. Density is the the mass of an object divided by its volume. Density is often expressed in grams/cm³. For a full explanation of how the buoyancy principle works go to the related question "What is the buoyancy principle?" in the Related Questions section below.
Why do ship sink deeper in fresh water than in salt water?
Any thing from people to ships are more buoyant in freshwater than in saltwater. Buoyancy is determined by the downward and upward force of an object. Also, saltwater weighs more than freshwater, so objects are more buoyant in the heavier water.

How does buoyancy make things float?
Not entirely. A vessel will float provided its displaced weight is such that there is ample freeboard remaining. If there is no freeboard, there will be nothing to prevent the water from coming inboard and sinking the vessel. On a small boat, buoyancy bags will prevent the boat from sinking to the bottom of the sea, even if filled with water.
How does Jacques Charles law relate to aerodynamics?
He 'flew' in helium balloons. Volume increases as temperature increases. In a hot air balloon temp increases so volume increases and some air must leave the balloon. The balloon now has lift because it weighs less than the cold air outside the balloon, just like buoyancy of a boat in water.
What air force makes a air balloon go up and down?
This is the buoyancy force. Archimedes is credited with first formulating this into a mathematical principle: the buoyancy force of an object is equal to the weight of fluid it displaces. In the case of a hot air balloon, the "fluid" is the outside cool air and the balloon is displacing a volume of cool air equal to the volume of the inflated balloon. So you can say the buoyancy force F = V ρ g, where V is the volume of the inflated ballon, ρ is the outside air density, and g is gravity. A balloon can float because it is displacing this cool air with hot air which is less dense. The volume of hot air inside the balloon thus weighs less than the same volume of cold air outside the balloon. For a balloon to be float upwards, the buoyancy force has to be at least equal to the weight of the balloon (the balloon fabric, the gondola, the people, equipment and cargo, and the hot air inside). For example, for a balloon of 100,000 cubic foot volume (typical), with outside air at 20 deg C near sea level, the buoyancy force is about 7500 lbs. This force has to lift the gondola, people, equipment and of course the hot air inside the balloon, all of which have weight. By far the greatest percentage of that total weight is the heated air inside since there is so much of it.
Does air resistance keep a hot air balloon in the air?
No, hot air balloons are kept up in the air by buoyancy, the same thing that keeps helium balloons up in the air, or that keeps ships afloat. The hot air in the balloon is less dense than the surrounding air, so the balloon weighs less than the air it displaces, at least while the balloon is rising.
What an object does if it weighs greater than the buoyant force?
It sinks.
Why do you float on water even though gravity is pulling you down?
This occurs due to the upthrust of water. Water exerts an upward force on the body. It is also called buoyancy.
