unnecessary knowledge #6

Hello all!
It's time to waste your time again!
Let's go!
Today it is about the quicksand!
First of all: You can't "go down" completely...It just doesn't work.
But now why?
Well, this is actually quite simple:
Every body in every medium (air, water or quicksand) has a certain buoyancy force.
So we all know that if the weight force is greater than the buoyancy force a body sinks.
But if it is the same, you stay where you are, because the forces balance each other out.
And so it is with quicksand.
Up to a certain point, our weight force is greater than the buoyancy force.
But the more volume is added to the quicksand the more buoyant force you have...the consequence of this is that at a certain point the forces balance out....
So do not panic

That's it again...have a nice weekend and Cu soon
