We have looked last lecture at
• Hydrostatic force on a submerged curved surface
Hydrostatic force on a submerged curved surface• Horizontal component, FH = FX
• Vertical component, FV = FY + W (Vector addition) where W = gV: is the weight of the enclosed liquid block of volume
V and acts downward through the centroid of this volume.
The magnitude of the resultant hydrostatic force acting onthe curved surface, FR = Tan θ = FV / FH
The location of the line of action of the resultant force can be determined by taking moments about an appropriate point.

The altitude of a hot air balloon is controlled by the temperature difference between the air inside and outside the balloon, since warm air is less dense than cold air.
When the balloon is neither rising nor falling, the upward buoyant force exactly balances the downward weight.
Buoyancy Forces
Buoyancy forcesBuoyancy
– As the pressure in a fluid increases with depth, the fluid exerts a resultant upward force on any body immersed in it.
Consider a cylinder submerged in water:Buoyancy = total vertical force exerted on the body due to pressure
• Pressure force on the top surface
• Pressure force on the bottom surface

The buoyant force acting on a body is equal to the weight of the liquid displaced by the body.
The buoyant force is independent of:a) the distance of the body from the free surface;b) the density of the solid body.
“A body experiences an up thrust (force) equal to the weight of fluid displaced”
“The up thrust acts through the centroid of the displaced volume”

Buoyancy forces (cont.)• What is the buoyancy force on a body only partly immersed in the
liquid?
gVFb
where V is the volume of the part ofthe body immersed in the liquid.
The weight of the entire body must be equal to the buoyant force. i.e. FB = W

The submerged volume fraction of afloating body is equal to the ratio ofthe average density of the body tothe density of the fluid.

Check your understanding• Consider two 5-cm-diameter sphere balls – one made of steel, the other
wood – submerged in water. Will the buoyancy force acting on these two balls be the same or different?
Why?• Will the buoyancy force change if the balls are submerged in oil?
