When I take a beachball and force it underwater it is almost impossible due to the upward force of the buoyancy. Is there a way to determine what that upward force is based on volume of the object, or viscosity of the liquid (including air and balloons).
How does one figure that? Since the weight of the object being "floated" is equal to the volume of the water displaced wouldn't the force to push the beach ball underwater equal to the weight of the water displaced by the ball in units of force instead of weight?
