Question

state two functions of Archimedes principle

Answer 1

Applications:

A hydrometer uses Archimedes’ principle to determine the density of any liquid.

Archimedes’ principle is also used in designing ships and submarines.

Archimedes principle states that the upward buoyant force that is exerted on a body immersed in a fluid whether fully or partially submerged is equal to the wieght of the fluid that the body displaces.

Upthrust = Buoyant force = Weiht of the displaced fluid.

Applications:

Floating of aquatic animals

Constructionof ships, steemers and boats

Answer 2

Archimedes' principle states that “When a body is immersed completely or partially in a fluid, it experiences an upward force that is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the body.” Applications: A hydrometer uses Archimedes' principle to determine the density of any liquid.Archimedes’ principle is also used in designing ships and submarines.
