Buoyant Force Explained: Objects Floating on Fluids!

Delve into the world of physics with our latest video on buoyant force! Join us as we explore the concept of buoyant force acting on objects floating on fluids. Learn how to calculate the percentage of a floating object submerged in a fluid, understand the principles of specific gravity, and witness the magic of physics in action. Whether you're a student, educator, or simply curious about the natural world, this video is sure to expand your understanding of buoyant force!

I'm going into physics 2 next year, so I am completely missing this topic! I am watchng your video just out of pure interest, but I'm kind of sad that this wasn't on the physics 1 exam this year!

6:07 I tried to use that formula with Walter Lewin's Problem 202 part c where he asks for the total gravitational force on a mass inside a hollow sphere, away from the center and away from the edge. The answer is zero, but you have to cite Newton's shell theorem, but I wanted to prove it by dividing the hollow sphere into 2 sections...
It didn't go well and I gave up on that after alot of effort tbh... I tried python code but I couldn't accurately confirm it was zero w/o doing any calculus. However, I later learned that there is a way to prove it using Gauss's law, but I have yet to see anyone use a brute force method with preset equations for volumes and so on...

"Physics Works" - Prof Walter Lewin, MIT.

I suggest you start hanging out with Walter Lewin on his channel. Maybe do some of his problems to catch his attention.

I have plugged your channel to him, as I think he would like to take a load off his comments section!

He is currently swamped with subs from India (& other countries) who are making unrealistic demands of him to help them...
