How to Evaluate Buoyant Force on Flat Plate of Uniform Thickness?

Buoyant Force on Flat Plate of Uniform Thickness evaluator uses Buoyant Force = Density of Fluid*[g]*Vertical Distance of Point from Free Surface*Area of Surface to evaluate the Buoyant Force, The Buoyant Force on Flat Plate of Uniform Thickness formula is defined as the product of density of fluid, gravitational acceleration, vertical distance from free surface and area of surface. It is a common experience that an object feels lighter and weighs less in a liquid than it does in air. This can be demonstrated easily by weighing a heavy object in water by a waterproof spring scale. Also, objects made of wood or other light materials float on water. These and other observations suggest that a fluid exerts an upward force on a body immersed in it. This force that tends to lift the body is called the buoyant force. The buoyant force is caused by the increase of pressure with depth in a fluid. Buoyant Force is denoted by Fbuoyant symbol.
