Body Floating in Two Liquids – Buoyancy Example Problem
This Archimedes Principle example problem has a body floating in two liquids. The object at the interface of two fluids is acted on by 2 buoyant forces.

Buoyancy problems are force problems, and all force problems require free body diagrams. There’s a quick mini-lecture about Archimedes principle with several visual examples of a box and an anchor, followed by an example problem solving for density and specific gravity of the object floating at the interface between two liquids.
