Buoyant Force Calculation: A Submerged Wood Cylinder

In this video, we delve into a practical example to understand the buoyant force acting on submerged objects. We explore the physics behind a wood cylinder submerged in water, calculating the buoyant force and discussing common misconceptions. Join us as we break down the problem step by step to uncover the principles at work.
