    Archimedes Principle

    Uploaded by

    The Archimedes' Principle states that the buoyant force on an object submerged or partially submerged in a fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced. If the weight of the displaced fluid is greater than the object's weight, the object will float. Steel ships float because their shape allows them to displace a large volume of water, with a mass equal to the ship's weight, so the upward buoyant force counteracts the downward gravitational force.

    The key takeaways are that Archimedes' principle states that the upward buoyant force exerted on an object immersed in a fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. This principle explains why objects like steel ships can float even though they are denser than water.

    Archimedes' principle states that the upward buoyant force exerted on a body immersed in a fluid, whether fully or partially submerged, is equal to the weight of the fluid that the body displaces and it acts in the upward direction at the centre of mass of the displaced fluid.

    Archimedes' principle explains why steel ships float because even though steel is denser than water, ships are designed and shaped in a way that displaces a volume of water sufficient enough to counter the weight of the ship, allowing it to float.

    ARCHIMEDES

    PRINCIPLE

    WHAT IS IT?
    Indicates that the upward buoyant force that is
    exerted on a body immersed in a fluid, whether
    fully or partially submerged, is equal to the weight
    of the fluid that the body displaces and it acts in
    the upward direction at the centre of mass of the
    displaced fluid.

    If the weight of the water


    displaced is less than the weight of
    the object, the object will sink
    Otherwise the object will float,
    with the weight of the water
    displaced equal to the weight of
    the object.

    Archimedes' Principle explains


    why steel ships float!!

    HOW ARCHIMEDES' PRINCIPLE


    EXPLAINS WHY STEEL SHIPS
    FLOAT?
    every body or object has a volume; that means
    that if that object is placed on the surface of the
    water, it will displace water which is equal in
    volume to the object immersed inside the surface
    of the water

    FORMULA:
    The volume of water that has been displaced possesses a
    certain amount of mass, which is found by the following
    formula:
    Mass of water displaced = volume of water displaced * density of
    water

    #When a body is partially or completely


    immersed in a fluid it experiences buoyancy
    (upward force) that is equal to the weight of the
    fluid displaced.

    F=pgV

    Where, F = Buoyant force of a given


    body,
    v = Volume of the displaced
    fluid
    g = acceleration due to gravity
    We know that density

    = ff - gg.

    Here

    ff is

    the density of the fluid and

    density of the body.

    F= (f - g)gV

    gg is

    Density of fresh water is normally 1000 kg/m3


    Archimedes tells us that this mass of water displaced actually acts to
    push the object upward and it causes an apparent loss of mass of the
    object placed on water by an amount equal to the mass of water
    displaced.
    The upward force exerted by this displaced volume of water is known
    as the force of buoyancy. This force can be assumed to act at a single
    point on the body which is known as the center of buoyancy of the
    body. This center of buoyancy is the same as the center of gravity of
    the part of the body which is immersed in the water. It is this force of
    buoyancy which keeps the object pushed upwards and prevents it
    from sinking.

    WHY DONT ALL OBJECTS


    FLOAT?

    When an object is placed on water its weight is acting downwards while the force of buoyancy is acting upwards. As the object starts to dip into the water the
    force of buoyancy would rise. At a point where this force is equal (and of course it is opposite) to the mass of the object, the object stops sinking and starts
    floating at that position. But if the object is not able to displace a mass of water equal to its weight even after full immersion it will sink to the bottom.

    Though a ship is made out of several thousand tons of iron (and other materials) it is shaped in such a way that after some amount of immersion in water it
    displaces a volume of water sufficient enough to counter its weight, hence the reason for floatation
