Archimedes' Principle LECTURE 3 BUOYANCY (ARCHIMEDES’ PRINCIPLE) Lecture Instructor: Kazumi Tolich Lecture 3 2 ¨ Reading chapter 15.4 and 15.5 ¤ Archimedes’ principle and buoyancy Buoyancy and Archimedes’ principle 3 ¨ The force exerted by a fluid on a body wholly or partially submerged in it is called the buoyant force. ¨ Archimedes’ principle: An object completely immersed in a fluid experiences an upward buoyant force equal in magnitude to the weight of fluid displaced by the object. �" = �%&'()�� � is the volume of displaced fluid by the object. Demo: 1 4 ¨ Archimedes’ principle ¤ The buoyant force is equal to the weight of the water displaced. Quiz: 1 5 ¨ Suppose that a rock is sitting on a chair, both submerged in water. Another identical rock is sitting on a chair in the air. Which chair exerts greater normal force on the rock? A. The chair in the water B. The chair in the air C. Actually, both chairs exert the same amount of force. Quiz: 3-1 answer 6 A. The chair in the air ¨ The rock is sitting, so it is not accelerating. The net force on it is zero. ¨ The rock has the following forces: buoyant force by the fluid (upward), normal force by the chair (upward), and weight (downward) �/6 ¨ The weight of the rocks are the same since they are identical. �/% ¨ The buoyant force by the air is smaller because air is less dense while �/8 the volume of the rocks are identical: �", .(/ = �.(/�� < �", 1.23/ = �1.3/��. ¨ This is why it is easier to lift a rock (or any object) in water than in air. The crown and the nugget 7 Archimedes (287-212 BC) had been given the task of determining whether a crown made for King Hieron II was pure gold. In the above diagram, crown and nugget balance in air, but not in water because the crown has a lower density. Quiz: 2 8 ¨ An inverted glass jar, filled with air, sits on a table. A helium balloon inside the jar floats to the top. If the air is replaced with helium, what will happen to the helium balloon? A. it still floats at the top because it has a upward buoyant force. B. it stays in the middle because it has zero net force. C. it sinks to the bottom because of the weight of the balloon. D. the balloon shrinks in size due to the surrounding helium. E. the balloon grows in size due to the lack of surrounding air. Quiz: 3-2 answer 9 ¨ it sinks to the bottom because of the weight of the balloon. ¨ The balloon floats initially because the displaced air weighs more than the balloon, so the buoyant force provides a net upward force. ¨ When the balloon is in the lighter helium gas (instead of air), the displaced helium gas provides a buoyant force equal to the weight of the gas in the balloon. ¨ But it does not provide enough upward buoyant force to support the weight of the balloon. Quiz: 3 10 ¨ Now the jar is lifted off the table, but the jar remains inverted to keep the helium gas in the jar. What will happen to the balloon? A. It floats at the top of the jar. B. It floats so that the bottom of the balloon is near the bottom of the jar. C. It floats so that the top of the balloon is near the bottom of the jar. D. It sinks down to the surface of the table. Quiz: 3-3 answer 11 ¨ It floats so that the bottom of the balloon is near the bottom of the jar. ¨ The balloon sinks in the helium gas until it hits the surface of the air. ¨ Because the balloon floats in air, it will float on the surface of the air and therefore remain mostly inside the jar, but at the bottom. Demo: 2 12 ¨ Helium balloon in helium ¨ Helium balloon in liquid nitrogen ¤ Demonstration of buoyancy and Archimedes’ principle Example: 1 13 ¨ A block of an unknown material’s apparent weight is �. = 5.00 N in air and �1 = 4.55 N when submerged in water. What is the density of the material? Quiz: 4 14 ¨ Which of the following statements is/are correct? Choose all that apply. A. For an object to float in water, its density must be less than that of water. B. For an object to float in water, its density must be more than that of water. C. For an object to float, it must displace water whose volume is the same as the volume of the object. D. For an object to float, it must displace water whose weight is the same as the weight of the object. Quiz: 3-4 answer 15 ¨ For an object to float, it must displace water whose weight is the same as the weight of the object. ¨ For an object to float, the net force on it must be zero since it is not accelerating vertically. ¨ The the magnitude of the buoyant force must be equal to the magnitude of the weight. ¨ �" = �%&'()��, where � is the volume of displaced fluid by the object. ¨ An object that is denser than fluid can float if it displaces enough fluid because of its shape. Demo: 3 16 ¨ Battleship ¨ Board and weights Quiz: 5 17 ¨ Two beakers, a and b, are filled to the brim with water. A wooden block is placed in beaker b so that it floats. (Some of the water will overflow the beaker). Both beakers are then weighed. Which scale reads a larger weight? Quiz: 3-5 answer 18 ¨ Same for both ¨ Since the wooden block floats, the net force on the block is zero. ¨ The wooden block displaces an amount of water whose weight is the same as the weight of the block. Example: 2 19 ¨ What is the minimum area of the top surface of a slab of ice with thickness, ℎ = 0.30 m, floating on fresh water that will hold up an automobile of mass �6 = 1100 kg sitting on top? The density of water and ice B 3 are �1 = 0.998 × 10 kg/m B 3 and �( = 0.917 × 10 kg/m , respectively..

    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.

  • 7 Mistakes Divers Make: and How to Avoid Them
    DAN’s Smart Guide to Safe Diving 7 Mistakes Divers Make: And How to Avoid Them Learn safety guidelines. Become conscientious and responsible divers. Prepare smarter so we can enjoy our dives. 1 NEGLECTING HEALTH AND FITNESS HEALTH Few people enjoy perfect health for their entire lives. Adopting a healthy lifestyle early in life can help postpone ailments associated with aging. When health issues present, it’s important to discuss them with your healthcare provider, pursue appropriate interventions and adopt modifications. With ongoing awareness of your personal health status and timely adjustments to maintain your health, diving can be a lifelong recreational activity. Prior to diving, you should take an honest assessment of whether you are medically fit to dive. Be vigilant for signs of acute illness (like congestion) and familiarize yourself with the risks and essential precautions associated with any chronic diseases. Acute illness that lasts more than a few days or leaves you feeling exhausted should prompt a delay to diving. Do not dive when ill. Wait until you regain your normal strength and stamina. If you are not ready to exercise at your pre-illness level, you should postpone your dive. The best course of action is to consult with your physician. Chronic diseases may affect your fitness to dive risks even if you perform well in other activities. Some health conditions, especially in advanced stages, may make the risks to you and your dive buddies unacceptably high. In less advanced or more stable medical conditions, divers may continue safe and enjoyable diving with proper guidance from their physician, medical controls and wise choices.

  • Experiment 12 Archimedes' Principle
    Experiment 12 Archimedes’ Principle Fig. 12-1 Equipment Graduated cylinder Triple Beam balance Pipette Wood cylinder Vernier caliper 2 Metal cylinders Rod & Clamp String Overflow container Experiment 12 Archimedes’ Principle Advance Reading: Serway & Jewett - Chapter 14, Section 14-4 Objective: The objective of this lab is to measure the buoyant force on a number of objects. Theory: Archimedes’ principle states that a body wholly or partially submerged in a fluid is buoyed up by a force equal in magnitude to the weight of the fluid displaced by the body. It is important to remember that fluid includes liquids and gases. This force is given by: FB = ρVg (Eq 1) where ρ (rho) is the density of the fluid, V is the volume of fluid displaced and g is acceleration due to gravity. It is the buoyant force that keeps ships afloat in water and hot air balloons floating in air. In this experiment, the buoyant force will be measured three ways and the results compared. The first method is by the measurement of force. This method involves weighing an object first in air, then in water, and using the difference in weight as the buoyant force. Though the object's mass does not change, its apparent weight will change when measured while immersed in a fluid that is denser than air. The second method is the displaced volume method. The volume of fluid displaced by the object is measured and its weight calculated. The weight of the water displaced is equal to the buoyant force exerted on the object, by Archimedes' Principle.

  • Buoyancy White Paper
    NPCA Buoyancy White Paper November 2018 Section 1- Buoyancy Guide 1.1 Intro Buoyancy is defined as the tendency of a fluid to exert a supporting upward force on a body placed in a fluid (i.e., a liquid or a gas). The fluid can be a liquid, as in the case of a boat floating on a lake, or the fluid can be a gas, as in a helium-filled balloon floating in the atmosphere. An elementary application of buoyancy can be seen when trying to push an empty water bottle downward in a sink full of water. When applying a downward force to the water bottle from your hand, the water bottle will stay suspended in place. But, as soon as you remove your hand from the water bottle, the water bottle will float to the surface. The buoyant force on the object determines whether a given object will sink or float in a fluid. It can be determined if an underground concrete structure will float or sink using basic buoyancy principles and applying them to a concrete structure. Essentially a concrete structure will not float if the sum of the vertical downward forces (gravitational, W) is greater than the vertical upward force (buoyant, Fb). When applying this principle to a structure below grade, it can be said that if the buoyant force (Fb) is greater than the mass of the structure and the combined mass of soil surcharges and objects contained within the structure, the structure will float. People have been aware of objects floating or sinking in a fluid since the beginning of time.

    Grade 8: Fluids Cartesian Diver Understanding Matter and Energy Safety Parental supervision and help is Lesson Plan Notes always encouraged! Description Students will learn about buoyancy and density while completing the Cartesian Diver experiment. Materials - A plastic bottle with sealable lid (1L or 2L pop bottle) - A straw (alternative: pen cap) - Paper Clips (or other small weights) - An elastic (alternative: paper clip) - Water Note: if using a pen cap, make sure there are no holes on the top. If it does, cover holes with tape or clay. Science Background This activity demonstrates multiple scientific concepts. 1. Density – everything that has mass has density. Density is ​ determined by dividing an object's mass (weight) by its volume (the amount of space an object takes up). The density triangle on the side of the page demonstrates how scientists can determine something's density, mass or volume, if provided the other two variables. In general, solids are more dense than liquids because their particles are closer together. Liquids are more dense than gases because their particles are closer together. This is why it is very difficult to compress a liquid compared to a gas. 2. Buoyancy – the ability for an item to float or sink in a ​ fluid. We can figure out if an object will float or sink based on its density compared to the density of the fluid it is placed in. An object that is less dense than the fluid will float and is positively buoyant (left on diagram). An object that is more dense will sink and is negatively buoyant (right on diagram).
