Buoyant Force Calculation

This document provides a template for calculating the buoyant force on square and circular objects submerged in water. It includes fields for entering the length, width, height, submerged volume percentage, total volume, water density, buoyant force in pounds and kilograms. An example is provided for a 300 foot square object that is 18.2% submerged, with a calculated buoyant force of over 4.9 million pounds.
