Buoyancy: Presened By: Rivas, Jeser Mayflor B. Bsed Science 1 A

This document discusses buoyancy and Archimedes' principle of buoyancy. [1] Buoyancy is the upward force exerted by a fluid that opposes the weight of an immersed object. [2] Archimedes' principle states that the buoyant force on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid it displaces. [3] Formulas are provided to calculate buoyant force, buoyancy mass, and examples are given to demonstrate calculating buoyancy and determining if an object will float or sink based on buoyant versus gravitational forces.

BUOYANCY

•Is the force that causes objects to float.


It is the force exerted on an object that
is partly or wholly immersed in a fluid.
•It is caused by the differences in press
ure acting on opposite sides of an objec
t immersed in a static fluid. It is also k
nown as the Buoyant Force.
BUOYANT FORCE
★ Any body, whole or
ARCHIMEDES partially immersed in a fluid
experiences and upward
force equal to the weight of
the fluid displaced.
ARCHIMEDES PRINCIPLE
• Archimedes' principle states that the upwa
rd buoyant force that is exerted on a body i
mmersed in a fluid, whether fully or partia
lly, is equal to the weight of the fluid that th
e body displaces.
• Archimedes' principle is a law of physics f
undamental to fluid mechanics.
 Fb = Wfl displaced
 Fb > Fg ( object will float )
 Fb < Fg ( object will sink )
BUOYANT FORCE

• An upward force exerted by a fluid that op


poses the weight of an immersed object.

• Archimedes principle: The buoyant force e


xerted on a body immersed in a fluid is equ
al to the weight of the fluid the body displa
ces.
BUOYANT FORCE FORMULA

B = Pf V g
B = Buoyant Force in N
Pf = fluid density in kg/m³
V = displaced body volume of liquid in kg/m³
g = 9.81 m/s²
BUOYANCY MASS FORMULA

Mb = Mo ( 1- Pf / Po)
Mb = buoyancy mass in kg
Mo = true vaccum mass of the object in kg
Pf = surrounding fluid density in kg/m³
Po = object density in kg/m³
ARCHIMEDES PRINCIPLE
• The Archimedes principle is easiest to
understand and apply in the case of en
tirely submersed objects.
• In general, the buoyancy force on a co
mpletely submerged object is given by
the formula:
Fb = Vpg
ARCHIMEDES PRINCIPLE FORMULA

Fb = V p g
Fb = Buoyant Force
p = fluid density
g = acceleration due to gravity
V= fluid volume
Example 1: • Consider the USS Macon, a hel
ium-filled airship (shown in ).
Its envelope (the “balloon”) co
ntained 184,059.5 cubic meter
s of helium. Ignoring the smal
l volume of the gondola, what
was the buoyancy force on thi
s airship? If the airship weigh
ed 108,000 kg, how much carg
o could it carry? Assume the d
ensity of air is 1.225 kg per me
ter cubed.
Fb = Vpg
Where ;
Fb = ?
V = 184, 059.5 kg
p = 1.212 kg/m³
g = 9.81 m/s²
 To find the cargo capacity of the airship, subtra
ct the weight of the airship from the buoyancy f
orce:

Fcargo = Fb - m g
Where;
Fb = 2. 21 x 10⁶ N
m = 108, 000
= 1. 08 x 10⁵ kg
g = 9. 81 m/s²
 The mass the airship can carry is:
Mcargo = Fcargo/g
= 1.15x10⁶ / 9.81
= 1.2x10⁵ kg
= 120 tons
Example 2 :
A piece of alloy has weight of 0.8316 N in air and 0.3416 N wh
immersed in water. Find its volume and its density.

Given:
Fg = 0. 8316
(Fg)app = 0. 3416
Pwater = 1000kg/m³
★ Find the Buoyancy Forc
e:
Fb = Fg - (Fg)app
Fb = 0.8316 - 0.3416
Fb = 0.49 N
Example 3:
Calculate the Buoyancy and the gravitational force act
ing on an object suspended in water. The object has a
mass of 55 grams and a volume of 12.2
Questions :
Based on the given example no.3 , does the object will sink or float? Why?

Answer:

0.12 N < 0.54 N

The object will sink because the Buoyancy Force (


Fb ) is lesser than the Force of the Gravity ( Fg) .
Example 4:

If a stone has a mass of 250 g is thrown in water. Calcula


te the buoyant force acting on it?
Solution:

Given: Mass of stone m = 0.25 kg,


The buoyant force is given by:
F = mg
= 0.25 × 9.8
= 2.45 N.
Hence 2.45 N of upward force is acting on the stone.
