Abstract

The study aims to investigate whether an object fully submerged with no liquid under it experiences a buoyant force. The experimental protocol developed allows for the measurement of the force exerted on the object by the liquid and its dependence on the liquid's height. The results show that there is no buoyant force acting on an object immersed in water with no liquid under it, providing clarity on the relationship between buoyancy and Stevin's law.
