This lecture covers the concept of buoyant force, also known as Archimedes' principle, which states that an object immersed in a fluid experiences an upward force equal to the weight of the displaced fluid. The instructor explains the calculation of buoyant force, the case of an object falling in a viscous fluid, and the determination of its terminal velocity in a laminar regime.
