prove mathematically that a thrust is equal to weight of liquid displaced by immersed part of body
Answers
Answer:
Archimedes principle also states that: “When a body is immersed in a liquid, an upward thrust, equal to the weight of the liquid displaced, acts on it.” Thus, when a solid is fully immersed in a liquid, it loses weight which is equal to the weight of the liquid it displaces.
Explanation:
Mathematical proof:
Consider a cylinder of cross section area A and height L completely submerged in water. Let depth of upper surface be h.
Using, pressure exerted by fluid column:
Force on the upper face of the cylinder = hρgA
Force on the lower face of the cylinder = [h+L]ρgA
Difference in force = LAρg
But LA is the volume of liquid displaced by the cylinder, and LrgA is the weight of the liquid displaced by the cylinder.
Therefore there is a net upward force on the cylinder equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by it.
