How to calculate buoyant force simple

This calculator finds buoyant force using Archimedes' principle — the upward force a fluid exerts on a submerged or floating object.

How the calculation works

Buoyant force = Displaced fluid volume × Fluid weight per volume.

Example

0.02 m³ displaced in water (9,810 N/m³): 0.02×9,810 ≈ 196.2 N.

Frequently asked questions

How is Result calculated?

Result = [Displaced fluid volume] × [Fluid weight per volume].

Is the Buoyant Force Simple free to use?

Yes — every calculator on Simple Calculator Tools is free, runs in your browser, and does not require an account.

Pro Tips for Buoyant Force Simple

  1. Displaced volume equals the submerged volume of the object, not its total volume if it's floating.
  2. Fluid weight per volume differs by fluid — saltwater is denser than freshwater, for example.

Common Buoyant Force Simple Mistakes to Avoid

  • Using the object's full volume instead of just the submerged portion for a floating (not fully submerged) object.
