density is made up of two other measurements -mass and volume
different materials have different densities
the density of a substance is the same for all samples of the substance
an object will float if it is less dense than the surrounding liquid
Water Displacement:
Voume of the object is equal to the volume of the displaced water
Density of water : 1g/cm^3
The specificgravity is the ratio between the density of an object, and a reference substance. The specific gravity can tell us, based on its value, if the object will sink or float in our reference substance.
-comparing the sensity of a substance with that of the density of pure water
Buoyancy
The ability of an object
to float in a fluid
Buoyant force
The upward force that acts on a submerged object.
It acts opposite of gravity.
Positively bouyant
Positive Buoyant
Negatively Buoyant
NeutrallyBuoyant
Pressure in all directions
horizontal preassures cancel each other out
•Archimedes' principle is named after Archimedes of Syracuse, who first discovered this law in 212 B.C
Archimedes' principle
•Any fluid applies a buoyant force to an object that is partially or completely immersed in it: the magnitude of the buoyant force equals the weight of the fluid that the object displaces”
The “upward” force
is acting on an
object due to the
displaced fluid
ARCHIMEDES’ PRINCIPLE states that the WEIGHT of the amount of water displaced is equal to the BUOYANT FORCE
Formula of archimedes principle:
Fb = ρfluidVg
Fb > Wobject : RISE
Fb ≈ Wobject : FLOAT
Fb < Wobject : SINK
SP GR DISTANCE > 1, object sinks on the water
SP GR DISTANCE < 1, object floats on the water
SP GR DISTANCE = 1, object stays at any level of water
