Archimedes’ Principle
• An object immersed in a liquid has an upward buoyant force equal to the weight of the liquid displaced by the object.
• An object will float if the upward buoyant force is greater than the object’s weight.Archimedes
287 – 211 BC

Note: Density (ρ) = density of liquid Volume = displaced volume of liquid = volume of object

Archimedes Principle• The net force on the object is thus the
difference between the object’s weight and the buoyancy force of the displaced fluid.
• If the buoyancy of an object exceeds its weight, it tends to rise. An object whose weight exceeds its buoyancy tends to sink.

Archimedes’ Principle
Cartoon here??Archimedes
287 – 211 BC
At the moment of Archimedes’ famous discovery.

Example
• What is the buoyancy in seawater of a piece of wood that weighs 10,000 N & measures 3m x 1m x 2m?
• The weight of wood = 10,000 N
• The volume of wood = 3m x 2m x 1m= 6 m3
• The corresponding weight of an equal volume of seawater: 6 m3 x 10300N/m3 = 61,800N
weight of water displaced = upward force = 61,800N
weight of wood = downward force = 10,000N
Net Force = 51,800N up

Example 2• A fully suited diver weighs 200 pounds. This diver
displaces a volume of 3.0 cubic feet of seawater. Will the diver float or sink?
• weight of equal volume of seawater:
3.0 ft3 x 64 lb/ft3. = 192 lb.
Weight of diver = down force = 200 lbs
Displaced weight of sea water = up force = 192 lb net force = 8 lbs down
• The diver will sink. This diver weighs 8 pounds in
the water and is over-weighted. Removal of eight pounds will allow the diver to “hover”.

Buoyancy
• Similar to parcel of air in atmosphere
• At Equilibrium– Density of Parcel Same

Archimedes Principle• Translation:
– objects more dense than water will sink - negatively buoyant ;
– objects less dense than water will float - positively buoyant;
– objects of the same density will remain at the same level and neither sink nor float - neutrally buoyant.
