About this Simulation

This simulation models a green cube floating at the interface between two fluids of different densities. Learners can adjust fluid properties, cube size, and observe how buoyancy forces change. The interactive tool visualises pressure distribution and equilibrium conditions when objects float in layered fluid systems.

Learning objectives: Understand how buoyancy depends on fluid density and displaced volume | Analyse equilibrium conditions for floating objects in stratified fluids | Explore the relationship between pressure, density, and floating behaviour
