1 LESSON Applying Archimedes principle. (4) Sketch the following graph: (a) Introduction. The figure shows a load of mass 40 N suspended in air whereas the others show the same load immersed in water at four differents depth. (b) Archimedes Principle Archimedes Principle state that When an object is immersed in a fluid (a liquid or a gas),the buoyant force ( upthrust force) on the object is equal in size to the weight of fluid displaced by the object. Estimate the spring balance readings for each figure and make the conclusion: (1) When an object is immersed partially or completely in a fluid, the weight of the object reduce and it is called as apparent weight. (2) The apparent weight depends on the weight of water dispersed/displaced. (3) The apparent weight is caused by an upward force exerted by the fluid on the object and the force is known as Buoyance Force Or Density and Buoyancy(keapungan) From Archimedes s Principle : Buoyant Force = Weight of fluid displace = mg (note : F = ma) = ρvg (note : ρ = m ) V Thus F B = ρ V g Where F B = Bouyant Force or Upthrust ρ = Density of fluid V = Volume of fluid displaced or the volume of the object that immersed in the fluid. 1

2 Example 1 Buoyant Force and Flotation A metal sphere has a volume 5 x 10-4 m 3 is immersed in water of density 1 x 10 3 kgm -3. Determine the upthrust experienced by the sphere? Example 2 A wooden block with a density 4 x 10 3 kg m -3 and a mass of 5 kg is immersed in a liquid of density 1 x 10 3 kg m - 3. Calculate the buoyant force acting on the wooden block? If Buoyant force = weight the object floats and stationary Buoyant force > weight the object moves up Buoyant force < weight the object moves down The Law of Flotation A floating object displaces its own weight of fluid in which it floats. Example 4 An object of mass 5 kg floats on the surface water. What is the upthrust experienced by the object. Example 3 An object has a weight of 40 N in air and 36 N in a liquid of density 800 kgm -3. Determine the volume of the object.ialah 36 N? 2

3 Example 5 Based on Figure (a), (b),(c) and (d) write the equations in words to relate the forces acting on the objects when the objects float and stationary. Application of Archimedes Principle (1) Ship A ship, though very heavy, floats on the surface of the sea. This is because the buoyant force = the weight of the ship. The buoyant force acting on the ship is large enough because the ship is hollow and the volume of water displaced by the ship is sufficiently large. ( F B = ρv g) The density of sea water varies with location and season. To ensure that a ship is loaded within safe limits, the Plimsoll line marked on the body of the ship acts as a guide. (2) Submarine Example 5 The figure shows a glass tube of mass kg with uniform diameter and cross-sectional area 4 x 10-4 m 2, and it is filled with sand so that it is made vertical in a beaker containing water. [ Density of water is 1000 kg m -3 ] Determine (a) The upthrust (b) The mass of sand in the glass tube. A submarine can sail on the surface or underneath it. Its outer hull is entirely watertight. Inside the hull are a number of tanks called ballast tanks which is used to control its position and depth from the surface of the sea. If ballast tanks empty Upthrust = weight submarine floats If ballast tanks full Upthrust < weight submarine sinks 3

4 (3) Hydrogen filled balloon. The balloon descends when Upthrust < Weight of hot air (helium gas) + weight of airship fabric + weight of gondola + weight of passengers The balloon remains stationary when Upthrust = Weight of hot air (helium gas) + weight of airship fabric + weight of gondola + weight of passengers A hydrogen-filled balloon will float up into the air if it is released. Air is a fluid and produces an upthrust. Density of air >>> density of hydrogen gas The balloon floats and rises upwards because Uptrust > Weight of hydrogen + weight of balloon + weight of string The balloon remains stationary in air when Uptrust = Weight of hydrogen + weight of balloon + weight of string 4) Hot air balloon (4) Hydrometer An hydrometer is an instrument used to measure the density of a liquid. It has a glass bulb which contains some lead to make it float upright, and long narrow neck with a scale marked on it caused the hydrometer more sensitive. The large air-filled glass bulb is used to displace more liquid and it caused the upthrust increases hence the hydrometer floats. In a liquid of lesser density, the hydrometer is more submerged. The hydrometer floats higher in a liquid of higher density. Density of hot air <<< density of cold air The balloon s height can be controlled by turning the gas burner which heats the air on and off as needed. The hot air balloon floats and rises upwards when Upthrust > Weight of hot air (helium gas) + weight of airship fabric + weight of gondola + weight of passengers. 4
