Re: Gbaikie -- Fay-Riddell equation
simple but useful:
"The force on a body due to buoyancy is given by Archimedes' principle,
where m is the mass of liquid displaced and g is the gravitational acceleration." Force of Buoyancy = Mass of displacement * gravitational acceleration
&
"Since the weight of water is about 62 pounds per cubic foot"
Implies gravitational acceleration for buoyancy is a constant, which is something I wondered about (and still wondering about:).
