Buoyancy Calculator (Archimedes F=ρgV)

Favorite

Compute buoyancy via Archimedes' principle F = ρ·g·V: enter liquid density and displaced volume.

Key points

Buoyancy Calculator (Archimedes F=ρgV): Compute buoyancy via Archimedes' principle F = ρ·g·V: enter liquid density and displaced volume. Formula: F = ρ·g·V. Enter parameters on the DD-CAT IDE online tool page to get results instantly, with a calculation-model diagram that updates with the inputs. Archimedes' principle: the buoyant force equals the weight of the displaced liquid (F = ρ·g·V). Float/sink: ρ_object < ρ_liquid rises (finally floats), equal suspends, greater sinks.

Inputs

F = ρ·g·V

Calculation model (updates with parameters)

液面物体F = 49.03 Nρ液 = 1000 kg/m³ | 排开Mass = 5 kg
Buoyant force F49.03 N
Mass of displaced liquid5kg
Maximum weight it can support49.03 N

Engineering notes

  • Archimedes' principle: the buoyant force equals the weight of the displaced liquid (F = ρ·g·V).
  • Float/sink: ρ_object < ρ_liquid rises (finally floats), equal suspends, greater sinks.
  • When floating, buoyancy equals weight, so draft volume gives load capacity; submarines dive/surface by changing their own weight.
