The relationship between the buoyancy formula and the tank volume formula
Thread Content
Buoyancy formula: Buoyant force = Density of the medium * Volume of the container * g. Formula for the volume of a gasoline tank (a cylindrical container): Volume of the tank = Volume of the tank * Density of the medium inside the tank * g. Since the volume formula is equal to the base area of an object multiplied by its height, can it be understood that the volume of such a vertical oil tank is equivalent to the buoyant force acting on that tank?
The volume of the tank = Volume of the tank * Density of the medium inside the tank * g? ? ?
Isn’t buoyancy understood in this way: it is the weight of the liquid displaced when an object is placed in a liquid, and that’s the buoyant force
“The formula for the volume of a gasoline tank (a cylindrical tank): Volume of the tank = Volume of the tank * Density of the substance inside the tank * g. Since the formula for volume is Base area of the object * Height of the object, can it be understood in this way that the volume of such a vertical oil tank is equivalent to the buoyant force exerted on that tank? ” The formula for calculating the volume of the tank is incorrect; the result obtained using this formula should be the weight of the gasoline inside the tank when it is full (in units of newtons or kN). The volume of the tank should be equal to the volume formula given later.
Buoyancy is related to the density of the medium; reversing the formula like this is incorrect, right?
