Density, in the context of fluid dynamics and buoyancy, refers to the mass of a fluid per unit volume. It is a fundamental property of a fluid that quantifies how much mass is contained within a given volume of the substance.
- B: Buoyancy force acting on an object submerged or floating in a fluid (Newtons, N).
- ρ: Density of the fluid in which the object is immersed (kilograms per cubic meter, kg/m³).
- 𝜈: Volume of the displaced fluid (cubic meters, m³).
- g: Acceleration due to gravity (meters per second squared, m/s²).
