Submerged volume of floating body via density ratio =================================================== If a body is fully or partially submerged in a fluid, an Archimedes force starts acting on it from the fluid pushing it in the opposite direction of the gravity force. The ratio of the body's volume submerged in a fluid to its total volume depends on the ratio of the densities of the body and the fluid. **Conditions:** #. :math:`\rho \le \rho_\text{fl}`, so the body must be floating. See below for the description of the symbols. #. The body must be in static equilibrium. **Links:** #. `Physics LibreTexts, formula 10.3.17 `__. .. py:currentmodule:: symplyphysics.laws.hydro.submerged_volume_of_floating_body_via_density_ratio .. py:data:: submerged_volume :attr:`~symplyphysics.symbols.classical_mechanics.volume` submerged in the fluid, which is equal to the volume of the displaced fluid.
