Float or Sink

Drop bodies in a tank. Find how deep they float, what they can carry, and when they sink.

Physics · Class 11 · Buoyancy and floating · 8 simulations. For JEE, NEET and your boards.

What you'll learn

  1. Lighter in water: Buoyancy = the weight of the water pushed aside
  2. Float at the mark: Fraction under = ρbody / ρliquid
  3. Out of the syrup: Part above = side − part under
  4. Load the boat: At the rim: water pushed aside = boat + load
  5. Ball and stone: Balance the whole pair, then each body
  6. Diver in the lake: It hovers where the squeezed air just floats it
  7. Jump out: Net push × depth = weight × jump
  8. Cut the spring: Held down: kx = B − W. Let go: it jumps
