A 100 cm^3 solid brass cylinder was submerged in various liquids and the buoyant force was measured: - Gasoline (density = 0.68 g/cm^3): Buoyant force = 0.67 N - Water (density = 1.00 g/cm^3): Buoyant force = 0.98 N - Corn syrup (density = 1.40 g/cm^3): Buoyant force = 1.37 N According to Archimedes' principle, buoyant force is directly proportional to:

F = rho * V * g -> proportional to fluid density.

Masterclass Solution & Distractor Trap Analysis

F_buoyant = rho_fluid * V_submerged * g. Greater fluid density produces a proportionally greater buoyant force....
