Abstract:Lima and Monteiro [1] derived the buoyant force in a nonuniform gravitational field by applying a gradient version of the divergence theorem to the surface integral of the pressure forces [2]. Here it is outlined an alternate approach in the framework of fluid mechanics, based on the energy formulations of the equations of state for compressible fluids.
