Example Problem - Buoyancy (3)

[@thandolwethu3430]

I have a test tomorrow and I have been enjoying your videos - this was both fun and educational.

why aren't you considering the hydrostatic pressure exerted on the submerged part of the beam?

Because it’s applied on both sides, and I’m neglecting the fact that there’s a slight pressure difference and a slight area difference due to the thickness of the beam.
