Question
Download Solution PDFForce of buoyancy on a floating body equals ________.
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDF- When a body is either wholly or partially immersed in a fluid, a lift is generated due to the net vertical component of hydrostatic pressure forces experienced by the body. This lift is called the buoyant force and the phenomenon is called buoyancy.
- The Archimedes principle states that the buoyant force on a submerged body is equal to the weight of the liquid displaced by the body and acts vertically upward through the centroid of the displaced volume.
- Thus, the net weight of the submerged body, (the net vertical downward force experienced by it) is reduced from its actual weight by an amount that equals the buoyant force.
FB = ρghA = ρgV
FB = f(Vdisplaced, ρ)
