    Buoyancy and Stability

    Archimedes' principle states that any object, wholly or partially submerged in a fluid, is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. The buoyant force acts vertically upward through the centroid of the displaced fluid volume. Whenever a body is placed in a liquid, it will either sink or float depending on whether the gravitational force is greater than or less than the upthrust force of the liquid. The metacentre is the point about which a floating body oscillates when given a small angular displacement and is the intersection of the line through the original center of buoyancy and center of gravity.

    ARCHIMEDES PRINCIPLE

    Whenever a body is immersed wholly or partially in a fluid, it is buoyed up (i.e., lifted up) by a force to the weight of fluids displaced by a body.

    BUOYANCY

    The buoyant force acts vertically upward through the centroid of the displaced volume and can be defined mathematically by Archimedes principle as follows;

    Fb = f gVd
    Where; Fb = f = g = Vd = Buoyant force Density of the fluid gravity Displaced volume of the fluid

    CENTRE OF BUOYANCY
    We

    see that whenever a body is placed over a liquid, either it sinks down or floats on the liquid. If we analyse the phenomenon of floatation, we find that the body, placed over a liquid, is subjected to the following two forces;

    Gravitaional Force (Weight of body, W) Up thrust of the liquid (R)


    note; W > R Immersed W > R Float

    A uniform body 3 m long, 2 m wide and 1 m deep floats in water. If the depth of immersion is 0.6 m, what is the weight of the body?
    (35.3 kN)

    A block of wood 4 m long, 2 m wide and 1 m deep is floating horizontally in water. If the density of the wood be 6.87 kN/m3, find the volume of the water displaced and position of the centre of buoyancy.
    (5.6 m3, 0.35 m)

    METACENTRE
    Whenever a body, floating in a liquid, is given a small angular displacement, it starts oscillating about some point. This point, about which the body start oscillating, is called metacentre In other words, the metacentre may also be defined as the inter section of the line passing through the original centre of buoyancy (B) and centre gravity (G) of the body, and the vertical line though the new centre of buoyancy (B1).
