Archimedes Principle Calculator

Calculate the buoyant force on an object submerged in fluid

Archimedes Principle

Buoyant Force: Fb = rho * g * V

Where:

  • rho = fluid density (kg/m³)
  • g = gravitational acceleration (m/s²)
  • V = volume of displaced fluid (m³)

An object floats if the buoyant force exceeds its weight.
