Odd though it seems at first, gravity is pulling the cat down while the floor is pushing the cat up - in equal amounts. Forces are absolutely acting on the cat but they balance - so there is no net force.

1.)Describe an experience where you encountered a buoyant force and tell what it felt like.

Swimming: Knowing I would not sink made feel safe.

Taking off in an aircraft: I felt heavier.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The buoyant force originates from the weight applied to the item by the liquid. Since the weight increments as the profundity press, the base of an article are constantly bigger than the power on the top - consequently the net upward power.

It follows up on an article inverse to gravity by liquid which is being submerged mostly or totally in the liquid. It contradicts the heaviness of the item. The buoyant force is given by volume dislodged by an item into the thickness of liquid into gravitational quickening.
