What are the factors affecting buoyancy?

By User
On

The fluid would be under high pressure at the depths.
When the body is submerged to the depths, an upward force acts to raise the body to the surface.
This buoyant force acts downwards against the weight of the body.
The buoyant force is related to any body that floats, immerses, or sinks in a fluid.

Final Answer:

The factors affecting buoyancy are Density of liquid and Volume of the object.

  2. Explain why (a) The angle of contact of mercury with glass is obtuse, while that of water with glass is acute. (b) Water on a clean glass surface tends to spread out while mercury on the same surface tends to form drops. (Put differently, water wets glass while mercury does not). (c) Surface tension of a liquid is independent of the area of the surface. (d) Water with detergent dissolved in it should have small angles of contact. (e) A drop of liquid under no external forces is always spherical in shape.
