Buoyancy Acceleration Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Buoyancy Acceleration is:

\[ Ab = \frac{p \cdot V \cdot g - m \cdot g}{m} \]

Where:

\( Ab \) is the Buoyancy Acceleration (m/s²).
\( p \) is the density of the fluid (kg/m³).
\( V \) is the volume of the fluid (m³).
\( m \) is the mass of the object (kg).
\( g \) is the acceleration due to gravity (9.81 m/s²).

Example

Let's say the density of the fluid (p) is 1000 kg/m³, the volume of the fluid (V) is 0.5 m³, and the mass of the object (m) is 10 kg. The buoyancy acceleration would be calculated as follows:

\[ Ab = \frac{1000 \cdot 0.5 \cdot 9.81 - 10 \cdot 9.81}{10} \approx 480.7 \text{ m/s²} \]

So, the buoyancy acceleration is approximately 480.7 m/s².
