W=P(deltaV)
Equation for buoyant force?
Fb=density(fluid)V(fluid displaced)g=density(fluid)V(submerged)g
Surface tension
Thin but strong layer formed by cohesive forces at the top of a liquid
Cohesive forces
Attractive force between liquid molecules to one another
Adhesive forces
Attractive force between liquid molecules to another substance
