hi
good morning
Fluids: Gases and liquids flow and are thus called fluids.
Buoyancy: The upward force exerted by fluids on any body is called the buoyant force and this phenomenon is known as buoyancy.
Thrust: The force acting on a body perpendicular to its surface is called thrust. S.I. unit is Newton.
Pressure: The thrust per unit area is called pressure.
Pressure =
S.I. Unit = or Nm-2. This unit (Nm-2)is also called Pascal,
.’. 1 Pascal (Pa) = 1 Nm-2
Weight of a body = Mass x acceleration due to gravity
W = mg
When a body is immersed in water or liquid, the body displaces some liquid.
The volume of liquid displaced = total volume of the solid.
The mass of liquid displaced can be measured as:
Mass of liquid displaced = Volume x Density
M = V x D
Weight of liquid displaced = Volume x Density x g (acceleration due to gravity)
W = V x D x g
The body loses some weight when immersed in fluid, it can be found as follows:
Weight of the body in air = W1
Weight of the body when immersed in liquid = W2
Hence loss in weight = W2 -W1
How much will be this upward force/buoyant force depends on the density of liquid in which it is immersed. The upthrust is more by denser liquids.
Archimedes’ Principle: When a body is immersed fully or partially in a fluid, it experiences an upward force that is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by it.
Materials Required
A spring balance, a metal bob, a cotton thread, an overflow can, a glass beaker, tap water, salty water, an iron stand.
Procedure
A. Find the zero error and least count of spring balance:
Take an iron stand and suspend a spring balance to it.
Study the spring balance, its scale and its least count.
Record your observations. If any error, record it as ‘x’ gf.
Answer: archimedes principle is the answer
