I need clarifications -
If an object is lets say at the bottom of a pool 10m deep, is there a net upward force?
If a cable holds the same object at a certain depth, lets say 5m--I know for sure that Fb exists and there is a net force upwards due to the pressure difference
If there is a net upward force on an object submerged in a fluid,why doesnt it accelerate up? or is there a net force upwards only when we look at objects held by a cable, string etc?
objects float since the Fb= weight of the object
objects sink since Fb < Weight of the object
I'm confused...argh
Thanks!
