write the principle of floatation
Answers
Answer:
When any boat displaces a weight of water equal to its own weight, it floats. This is often called the "principle of flotation": A floating object displaces a weight of fluid equal to its own weight. ... Archimedes' principle, as stated above, equates the buoyant force to the weight of the fluid displaced
The principle of floatation are:-
i) The weight W of body acting vertically downwards, through the centre of gravity G of the body. This force has a tendency to sink the body.
ii) The upthrust of the liquid acting vertically upwards, through the centre of buoyancy B i.e., the centre of gravity of the displaced liquid. The upthrust (or buoyant force) is equal in magnitude to the weight of the liquid displaced. This force has a tendency to make the body float.
