1 Chapter 4: Buoyancy & Stability
2 Learning outcomes By the end of this lesson students should be able to: Understand the concept of buoyancy hence determine the buoyant force exerted by a fluid to a body fully submerged or floating. Determine whether a floating body is stable or not. Understand the metacentre and identify the metacentric height of a body fully or partially immersed. UiTMKS/ FCE/ BCBidaun/ ECW211 2
3 Introduction Buoyancy (upthrust): The vertical force exerted by the fluid on an immersed body. Upthrust on body = Weight of fluid displaced by fluid F b gv d the body W object gv Centre of buoyancy: The point which buoyancy is acting & the centroid of the displaced volume of fluid. o UiTMKS/ FCE/ BCBidaun/ ECW211 3

6 Example 4.1 A stone weighs 665 N in the air. When the stone is completely submerged in water, it weighs 420 N. Calculate the volume of the stone. The unit weight of the stone is Nm -3. UiTMKS/ FCE/ BCBidaun/ ECW211 6
7 Example 4.2 A 60 mm cube is made of rigid foam material and floats in water with a depth of 40 mm below the water surface as shown in Fig. 4.2 (a). Determine the magnitude and direction of the force required to hold the cube completely submerged in glycerine, which has a specific gravity of W F b F e W F b 40 mm Water Glycerine UiTMKS/ FCE/ BCBidaun/ ECW211 7
8 Example 4.3 (Douglas, 2006) A rectangular pontoon has a width B of 6 m, a length l of 12 m, and a draught D of 1.5 m in fresh water (density 1000 kgm -3 ). Calculate (a) the weight of the pontoon, (b)its draught in sea water (density 1025 kgm -3 ) and (c) the load (in kn) that can be supported by the pontoon in fresh water if the maximum draught permissible is 2 m. UiTMKS/ FCE/ BCBidaun/ ECW211 8
9 Example 4.4 (Bansal, 2003) A wooden log of 0.6 m diameter and 5 m length is floating in river water. Find the depth of the wooden log in water when the specific gravity of the log is 0.7. h A B 2θ O D C 0.6 m UiTMKS/ FCE/ BCBidaun/ ECW211 9
10 Example 4.5 (Bansal, 2003) Find the density of a metallic body which floats at the interface of mercury of specific gravity 13.6 and water such that 40% of its volume is submerged in mercury and 60% in water. UiTMKS/ FCE/ BCBidaun/ ECW211 10
11 Stability The equilibrium of a body may be stable, unstable or neutral, depending upon whether, when given a small displacement, it tends to return to the equilibrium position, move further from it or remain in the displaced position. 2 cases: Fully immersed body Floating body (partially immersed) UiTMKS/ FCE/ BCBidaun/ ECW211 11
12 Stability of a fully immersed body Small angular displacement of θ from equilibrium position will generate a moment W x BG x θ G below B : Righting moment, return to its equilibrium position G above B: Overturning moment, body unstable UiTMKS/ FCE/ BCBidaun/ ECW211 12
13 UiTMKS/ FCE/ BCBidaun/ ECW211 13
14 Stability of floating body When body is displaced through an angle θ, the shape of volume changes and cb moves from B to B. Turning moment (W x θ) is produced : righting moment as in (b) or turning moment as in (c) UiTMKS/ FCE/ BCBidaun/ ECW211 14
15 Metacentre, M : point at which the line of action of the upthrust R cuts the original vertical through G. x GM Where θ is small, so that sin θ = tan θ = θ in radians. Metacentric height: the distance GM UiTMKS/ FCE/ BCBidaun/ ECW211 15
16 If M lies above G, a righting moment W x GM x θ is produced, equilibrium is stable and GM is regarded as positive. If M lies below G, an overturning moment W x GM x θ is produced, equilibrium is unstable and GM is regarded as negative. If M coincides with G, the body is in neutral equilibrium. UiTMKS/ FCE/ BCBidaun/ ECW211 16
17 UiTMKS/ FCE/ BCBidaun/ ECW211 17
18 Determination of the metacentric height The metacentric height of a vessel can be determined if the angle of tilt θ caused by moving a load P a known distance x across the deck is measured. Overturning moment due to movement of load P Px If GM is the metacentric height and W = mg is the total weight of the vessel including P, Righting moment W GM UiTMKS/ FCE/ BCBidaun/ ECW211 18
19 For equlibrium in the tilted position, the righting moment must equal the overturning moment so that, W GM Metacentric height, GM Px Px W UiTMKS/ FCE/ BCBidaun/ ECW211 19
20 Determination of the position of the metacentric relative to centre of buoyancy For a vessel of known shape and displacement, the position of the centre of buoyancy B is comparatively easily found and the position of M relative to B can be easily calculated.
