And yes, you assume the fluid is making contact with both “fictional” faces. | |

| Jan 17, 2020 at 6:50 | comment | added | Aditya Ahuja | My physics professor explained this to me by assuming the rigid body to be a uniform cube and calculating the expression for buoyant force by calculating the pressure on the upper and lower faces. The result came out to be the sum of the expressions for buoyant force on the parts of the cube immersed in the liquids. He then said that this result could be generalised for any body. But what about a non-symmetric one? If I integrate over the surface above and below the Fluid interface will I get the same result ? | |
