Buoyant force in a nonuniform gravitational field
When an arbitrarily-shaped body is fully immersed in a liquid in equilibrium, it gets from the liquid a non-null hydrostatic force known as buoyant force. It is an easy task to apply the divergence theorem to show that this force agrees to that predicted by the well-known Archimedes' principle,...
