Upthrust Force Solution

Follow our step by step solution on how to calculate Upthrust Force?

FIRST Step Consider the formula

F t = V i \cdot [g] \cdot ρ

Next Step Substitute values of Variables

∴

F t = 1.2m³ \cdot [g] \cdot 980kg/m³

Next Step Substitute values of Constants

∴

F t = 1.2m³ \cdot 9.8066m/s² \cdot 980kg/m³

Next Step Prepare to Evaluate

∴

F t = 1.2 \cdot 9.8066 \cdot 980

LAST Step Evaluate

∴

F t = 11532.6204N

How to Evaluate Upthrust Force?

Upthrust Force evaluator uses Upthrust Force = Volume Immersed*[g]*Mass Density of Fluid to evaluate the Upthrust Force, The Upthrust force also referred as 'Buoyancy force' acting on a body fully or partially submerged in a fluid is governed by Archimedes' principle. This principle states that the upthrust force is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the body. The upthrust force always acts vertically upwards, directly opposite the weight of the displaced fluid. Upthrust Force is denoted by F_t symbol.

FAQs on Upthrust Force

What is the formula to find Upthrust Force?

The formula of Upthrust Force is expressed as Upthrust Force = Volume Immersed*[g]*Mass Density of Fluid. Here is an example- 11532.62 = 1.2*[g]*980.

How to calculate Upthrust Force?

With Volume Immersed (V_i) & Mass Density of Fluid (ρ) we can find Upthrust Force using the formula - Upthrust Force = Volume Immersed*[g]*Mass Density of Fluid. This formula also uses Gravitational acceleration on Earth constant(s).

Can the Upthrust Force be negative?

No, the Upthrust Force, measured in Force cannot be negative.

Which unit is used to measure Upthrust Force?

Upthrust Force is usually measured using the Newton[N] for Force. Exanewton[N], Meganewton[N], Kilonewton[N] are the few other units in which Upthrust Force can be measured.
