FLUID MECHANICS Fluid Statics BUOYANCY Fig. Buoyancy www.getmyuni.com FLUID MECHANICS Fluid Statics BUOYANCY When a body is either wholly or partially immersed in a fluid, the hydrostatic lift due to the net vertical component of the hydrostatic pressure forces experienced by the body is called the “Buoyant Force” and the phenomenon is called “Buoyancy”. Fig. Buoyancy The Buoyancy is an upward force exerted by the fluid on the body when the body is immersed in a fluid or floating on a fluid. This upward force is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the body. CENTER OF BUOYANCY (a) Floating Body (b) Submerged Body Fig. Center of Buoyancy Center of Buoyancy is a point through which the force of buoyancy is supposed to act. As the force of buoyancy is a vertical force and is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the body, the Center of Buoyancy will be the center of the fluid displaced. 1 www.getmyuni.com LOCATION OF CENTER OF BUOYANCY Consider a solid body of arbitrary shape immersed in a homogeneous fluid. Hydrostatic pressure forces act on the entire surface of the body. Resultant horizontal forces for a closed surface are zero. Fig. Location of Center of Buoyancy The body is considered to be divided into a number of vertical elementary prisms of cross section d(A z). Consider vertical forces dF 1 and dF 2 acting on the two ends of the prism. dF 1 = (P atm +ρgz 1)d(A z) dF 2 = (P atm +ρgz 2) d(A z) The buoyant force acting on the element: dF B = dF 2 - dF 1 =ρg(z 2–z1)d(A z) = ρg(dv) where dv = volume of the element. ∫ ∫ ∫ The buoyant force on the entire submerged body (F B) = v ρg(dv) = ρgV; Where V = Total volume of the submerged body or the volume of the displaced liquid. LINE OF ACTION OF BUOYANT FORCE To find the line of action of the Buoyant Force F B, take moments about z-axis, XBFB = ∫xdF B But F B = ρgV and dF B = ρg(dv) Substituting we get, X B = (1/V) v∫ ∫ ∫ xdv where X B = Centroid of the Displaced Volume. 2 2 www.getmyuni.com ARCHIMEDES PRINCIPLE The Buoyant Force (F B) is equal to the weight of the liquid displaced by the submerged body and acts vertically upwards through the centroid of the displaced volume. Net weight of the submerged body = Actual weight – Buoyant force. The buoyant force on a partially immersed body is also equal to the weight of the displaced liquid. The buoyant force depends upon the density of the fluid and submerged volume of the body. For a floating body in static equilibrium, the buoyant force is equal to the weight of the body. Problem –1 Find the volume of the water displaced and the position of Center of Buoyancy for a wooden block of width 2.0m and depth 1.5m when it floats horizontally in water. Density of wooden block is 650kg/m 3 and its length is 4.0m. Volume of the block, V = 12m 3 Weight of the block, ρgV= 76518N Volume of water displaced = 76,518 / (1000 × 9.81)= 7.8m 3 Depth of immersion, h =7.8 / (2 ×4) = 0.975m. The Center of Buoyancy is at 0.4875m from the base. Problem-2 A block of steel (specific gravity= 7.85) floats at the mercury-water interface as shown in figure. What is the ratio (a / b) for this condition? (Specific gravity of Mercury = 13.57) Let A = Cross sectional area of the block Weight of the body = Total buoyancy forces A(a+b) × 7850 × g =A(b × 13.57 +a) × g × 1000 7.85 (a+b) = 13.57 × b + a (a / b) = 0.835 Problem – 3 A body having the dimensions of 1.5m ×1.0m × 3.0m weighs 1962N in water. Find its weight in air. What will be its specific gravity? Volume of the body = 4.5m 3 = Volume of water displaced. Weight of water displaced = 1000 × 9.81 × 4.5 = 44145N For equilibrium, Weight of body in air – Weight of water displaced = Weight in water Wair = 44145N + 1962N = 46107N Mass of body = (46107 / 9.81) = 4700kg. Density = (4700 / 4.5) = 1044.4 kg/m 3 Specific gravity = 1.044 3 3 www.getmyuni.com STABILITY OF UN-CONSTRAINED SUBMERGED BODIES IN A FLUID When a body is submerged in a liquid (or a fluid), the equilibrium requires that the weight of the body acting through its Center of Gravity should be co-linear with the Buoyancy Force acting through the Center of Buoyancy. If the Body is Not Homogeneous in its distribution of mass over the entire volume, the location of Center of Gravity (G) does not coincide with the Center of Volume (B). Depending upon the relative locations of (G) and (B), the submerged body attains different states of equilibrium: Stable, Unstable and Neutral. STABLE, UNSTABLE AND NEUTRAL EQUILIBRIUM Stable Equilibrium: (G) is located below (B). A body being given a small angular displacement and then released, returns to its original position by retaining the original vertical axis as vertical because of the restoring couple produced by the action of the Buoyant Force and the Weight. Fig. Stable Equilibrium Unstable Equilibrium: (G) is located above (B). Any disturbance from the equilibrium position will create a destroying couple that will turn the body away from the original position Fig. Unstable Equilibrium 4 4 www.getmyuni.comNeutral Equilibrium: (G) and (B) coincide. The body will always assume the same position in which it is placed. A body having a small displacement and then released, neither returns to the original position nor increases it’s displacement- It will simply adapt to the new position. Fig. Neutral Equilibrium A submerged body will be in stable, unstable or neutral equilibrium if the Center of Gravity (G) is below, above or coincident with the Center of Buoyancy (B) respectively. Fig. Stable, Unstable and Neutral Equilibrium 5 5 www.getmyuni.com STABILITY OF FLOATING BODIES Stable conditions of the floating body can be achieved, under certain conditions even though (G) is above (B). When a floating body undergoes angular displacement about the horizontal position, the shape of the immersed volume changes and so, the Center of Buoyancy moves relative to the body. META CENTER Fig. Meta Center Fig. (a) shows equilibrium position; (G) is above (B), F B and W are co-linear. Fig. (b) shows the situation after the body has undergone a small angular displacement ( θ) with respect to the vertical axis. (G) remains unchanged relative to the body. (B) is the Center of Buoyancy (Centroid of the Immersed Volume) and it moves towards the right to the new position [B 1]. The new line of action of the buoyant force through [B 1] which is always vertical intersects the axis BG (old vertical line through [B] and [G]) at [M]. For small angles of ( θ), point [M] is practically constant and is known as Meta Center. Meta Center [M] is a point of intersection of the lines of action of Buoyant Force before and after heel. The distance between Center of Gravity and Meta Center (GM) is called Meta-Centric Height. The distance [BM] is known as Meta- Centric Radius. In Fig. (b), [M] is above [G], the Restoring Couple acts on the body in its displaced position and tends to turn the body to the original position - Floating body is in stable equilibrium. If [M] were below [G], the couple would be an Over-turning Couple and the body would be in Unstable Equilibrium. If [M] coincides with [G], the body will assume a new position without any further movement and thus will be in Neutral Equilibrium. 6 6 www.getmyuni.com For a floating body, stability is determined not simply by the relative positions of [B] and [G]. The stability is determined by the relative positions of [M] and [G]. The distance of the Meta-Center [M] above [G] along the line [BG] is known as the Meta-Centric height (GM). GM=BM-BG GM>0, [M] above [G]------- Stable Equilibrium GM=0, [M] coinciding with [G]------Neutral Equilibrium GM<0, [M] below [G]------- Unstable Equilibrium. DETERMINATION OF META-CENTRIC HEIGHT Consider a floating object as shown. It is given a small tilt angle( θ) from the initial state. Increase in the volume of displacement on the right hand side displaces the Center of Buoyancy from (B) to (B 1) Fig. Determination of Meta-centric Height. The shift in the center of Buoyancy results in the Restoring Couple = W (BM tan θ); Since F B= W; W=Weight of the body= Buoyant force= F B This is the moment caused by the movement of Center of Buoyancy from (B) to (B 1) Volume of the liquid displaced by the object remains same. Area AOA 1=Area DOD 1 Weight of the wedge AOA 1(which emerges out)=Weight of the wedge DOD 1(that was submerged) Let (l) and (b) be the length and breadth of the object. Weight of each wedge shaped portion of the liquid = dFB = (w/2)(b/2)(b/2)(tan θ)(l) =[(wb 2 l tan θ)/8] w= ρg=specific weight of the liquid. 7 7 www.getmyuni.com There exists a buoyant force dFB upwards on the wedge (ODD 1) and dFB downwards on the wedge (OAA 1) each at a distance of (2/3)(b/2)=(b/3) from the center. The two forces are equal and opposite and constitute a couple of magnitude, 2 3/ dM= dFB (2/3)b =[(wb l tan θ)/8](2/3)b =w(lb 12)tan θ=wI YY tan θ Where, I YY is the moment of inertia of the floating object about the longitudinal axis.

  • Simple Experiment Confirming the Negative Temperature Dependence of Gravity Force
    SIMPLE EXPERIMENT CONFIRMING THE NEGATIVE TEMPERATURE DEPENDENCE OF GRAVITY FORCE Alexander L. Dmitriev St-Petersburg National Research University of Information Technologies, Mechanics and Optics, 49 Kronverksky Prospect, St-Petersburg, 197101, Russia Results of weighing of the tight vessel containing a thermo-isolated copper sample heated by a tungstic spiral are submitted. The increase of temperature of a sample with masse of 28 g for about 10 0 С causes a reduction of its apparent weight for 0.7 mg. The basic sources of measurement errors are briefly considered, the expediency of researches of temperature dependence of gravity is recognized. Key words: gravity force, weight, temperature, gravity mass. PACS: 04.80-y. Introduction The question on influence of temperature of bodies on the force of their gravitational interaction was already raised from the times when the law of gravitation was formulated. The first exact experiments in this area were carried out at the end of XIXth - the beginning of XXth century with the purpose of checking the consequences of various electromagnetic theories of gravitation (Mi, Weber, Morozov) according to which the force of a gravitational attraction of bodies is increased with the growth of their absolute temperature [1-3]. That period of experimental researches was completed in 1923 by the publication of Shaw and Davy’s work who concluded that the temperature dependence of gravitation forces does not exceed relative value of 2⋅10 −6 K −1 and can be is equal to zero [4]. Actually, as shown in [5], those authors confidently registered the negative temperature dependence of gravitation force.

  • Estimating Your Air Consumption
    10/29/2019 Alert Diver | Estimating Your Air Consumption Estimating Your Air Consumption Advanced Diving Public Safety Diving By Mike Ange Mastering Neutral Buoyancy and Trim Military Diving Technical Diving Scientific Diving and Safety Program Oversight Seeing the Reef in a New Light ADVERTISEMENT Do you have enough breathing gas to complete the next dive? Here's how to find out. It is a warm clear day, and the Atlantic Ocean is like glass. As you drop into the water for a dive on North Carolina's famous U-352 wreck, you can see that the :: captain has hooked the wreck very near the stern. It is your plan to circumnavigate the entire structure and get that perfect photograph near the exposed bow torpedo tube. You descend to slightly below 100 feet, reach the structure and take off toward the bow. Unfortunately, you are only halfway, just approaching the conning tower, when your buddy signals that he is running low on air. Putting safety first, you return with him to the ascent line — cursing the lost opportunity and vowing to find a new buddy. If you've ever experienced the disappointment of ending a dive too soon for lack of breathing gas or, worse, had to make a hurried ascent because you ran out of air, it may surprise you to learn that your predicament was entirely predictable. With a little planning and some basic calculations, you can estimate how much breathing gas you will need to complete a dive and then take steps to ensure an adequate supply. It's a process that technical divers live by and one that can also be applied to basic open-water diving.

  • Density and Specific Weight Estimation for the Liquids and Solid Materials
    Laboratory experiments Experiment no 2 – Density and specific weight estimation for the liquids and solid materials. 1. Theory Density is a physical property shared by all forms of matter (solids, liquids, and gases). In this lab investigation, we are mainly concerned with determining the density of solid objects; both regular-shaped and irregular-shaped. In general regular-shaped solid objects are those that have straight sides that can be measured using a metric ruler. These shapes include but are not limited to cubes and rectangular prisms. In general, irregular-shaped solid objects are those that do not have straight sides that cannot be measured with a metric ruler or slide caliper. The density of a material is defined as its mass per unit volume. The symbol of density is ρ (the Greek letter rho). m kg (1) V m3 The specific weight (also known as the unit weight) is the weight per unit volume of a material. The symbol of specific weight is γ (the Greek letter Gamma). W N (2) V m3 On the surface of the Earth, the weight W of an object is related to its mass m by: W = m · g, (3) where g is the acceleration due to the Earth's gravity, equal to about 9.81 ms-2. Using eq. 1, 2 and 3 we will obtain dependence between specific weight of the body and its density: g (4) Apparatus: Vernier caliper, balance with specific gravity platform (additional table in our case), 250 ml graduate beaker. Unknowns: a) Various solid samples (regular and irregular shaped) b) Light liquid sample (alcohol-water mixture) or heavy liquid sample (salt-water mixture).

  • Hydraulics Manual Glossary G - 3
    Glossary G - 1 GLOSSARY OF HIGHWAY-RELATED DRAINAGE TERMS (Reprinted from the 1999 edition of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials Model Drainage Manual) G.1 Introduction This Glossary is divided into three parts: · Introduction, · Glossary, and · References. It is not intended that all the terms in this Glossary be rigorously accurate or complete. Realistically, this is impossible. Depending on the circumstance, a particular term may have several meanings; this can never change. The primary purpose of this Glossary is to define the terms found in the Highway Drainage Guidelines and Model Drainage Manual in a manner that makes them easier to interpret and understand. A lesser purpose is to provide a compendium of terms that will be useful for both the novice as well as the more experienced hydraulics engineer. This Glossary may also help those who are unfamiliar with highway drainage design to become more understanding and appreciative of this complex science as well as facilitate communication between the highway hydraulics engineer and others. Where readily available, the source of a definition has been referenced. For clarity or format purposes, cited definitions may have some additional verbiage contained in double brackets [ ]. Conversely, three “dots” (...) are used to indicate where some parts of a cited definition were eliminated. Also, as might be expected, different sources were found to use different hyphenation and terminology practices for the same words. Insignificant changes in this regard were made to some cited references and elsewhere to gain uniformity for the terms contained in this Glossary: as an example, “groundwater” vice “ground-water” or “ground water,” and “cross section area” vice “cross-sectional area.” Cited definitions were taken primarily from two sources: W.B.

  • Ideal Gasses Is Known As the Ideal Gas Law
    ESCI 341 – Atmospheric Thermodynamics Lesson 4 –Ideal Gases References: An Introduction to Atmospheric Thermodynamics, Tsonis Introduction to Theoretical Meteorology, Hess Physical Chemistry (4th edition), Levine Thermodynamics and an Introduction to Thermostatistics, Callen IDEAL GASES An ideal gas is a gas with the following properties: There are no intermolecular forces, except during collisions. All collisions are elastic. The individual gas molecules have no volume (they behave like point masses). The equation of state for ideal gasses is known as the ideal gas law. The ideal gas law was discovered empirically, but can also be derived theoretically. The form we are most familiar with, pV nRT . Ideal Gas Law (1) R has a value of 8.3145 J-mol1-K1, and n is the number of moles (not molecules). A true ideal gas would be monatomic, meaning each molecule is comprised of a single atom. Real gasses in the atmosphere, such as O2 and N2, are diatomic, and some gasses such as CO2 and O3 are triatomic. Real atmospheric gasses have rotational and vibrational kinetic energy, in addition to translational kinetic energy. Even though the gasses that make up the atmosphere aren’t monatomic, they still closely obey the ideal gas law at the pressures and temperatures encountered in the atmosphere, so we can still use the ideal gas law. FORM OF IDEAL GAS LAW MOST USED BY METEOROLOGISTS In meteorology we use a modified form of the ideal gas law. We first divide (1) by volume to get n p RT . V we then multiply the RHS top and bottom by the molecular weight of the gas, M, to get Mn R p T .
