If a 30 kg (66 lbm) block having a density of 2000 kg/m^3 (124.8 lbm/ft^3) is submerged in water having density of 1000 kg/m^3 (62.4 lbm/ft^3) what is the buoyant force acting on the block?
What will be an ideal response?
Buoyant force is the force due to the volume occupied by a submerged body times the specific weight of the fluid surrounding the body. For this case it is
