Comparing Buoyant Forces in Different Fluids

< Prev
Next >

A solid cube of side length LL and density ρ1\rho_1 is submerged in a fluid of density ρ2\rho_2, where ρ1<ρ2\rho_1 < \rho_2. If the cube is then placed in a different fluid of density ρ3\rho_3, where ρ3=ρ1/2\rho_3 = \rho_1/2, what happens to the buoyant force compared to the first fluid?

A

It increases to twice its original value

B

It decreases to half its original value

C

It remains the same

D

It decreases to ρ1/(2ρ2)\rho_1/(2\rho_2) times its original value
