    The document provides an online lecture on Archimedes' Principle from the Technological Institute of the Philippines. It defines Archimedes' Principle as the upward buoyant force exerted on an object in a fluid being equal to the weight of the fluid displaced. The lecture aims to teach students how to explain and solve problems related to Archimedes' Principle. It includes sample problems calculating the distance an object floats below the surface and the additional mass required for an object to be level with the surface.

    TOPIC # 2

    Archimedes Principle

    Introduction
    Have you ever tried to push a beach ball down under
    water. It is extremely difficult to do because of the large
    upward force exerted by the water on the ball. The upward
    force exerted by a fluid on any immersed object is called
    a buoyant force. In this lesson, we will calculate the
    buoyant force acting on an object submerged on a liquid.

    Intended Learning Outcomes:


    At the end of the session the students should be able to:
    1. Explain Archimedes’ Principle.
    2. Solve problems related to Archimedes’ Principle.

    Archimedes Principle
    Archimedes principle states that: The upward buoyant force that is exerted on a body
    immersed in a fluid, whether partially or fully submerged, is equal to the weight of the fluid
    that the body displaces and acts in the upward direction at the center of mass of the
    displaced fluid.

    Mathematically,
    Buoyant Force = W Fluid Displaced
    Buoyant Force = ρFluidVsg
    Where: Vs – is the volume of the object submerged in the fluid.

    Sample Problems:

    1. A cube of wood having an edge dimension of 20 cm and a density of 650 kg/m3


    floats on water.
    a) What is the distance from the horizontal top surface of the cube to the water
    level?
    b) What mass of lead should be place on the cube so that the top of the cube will
    be just level with the water surface?

    Solution:

    The object is at equilibrium condition (Fluids at rest)


    ∑ Fy = 0
    BF − wo = 0
    ρfluid Vs g = wo

    Weight of the object = wo


    wo = mg or
    Recall:
    m
    ρ= v
    wo = ρo Vo g

    ρfluid Vs g = ρo Vo g
    ρfluid A(0.20 − h)g = ρo A(0.20)g
    Simplify the equation and solve for h;
    1000(0.20-h) = 650(0.20)
    ∴ 𝐡 = 𝟎. 𝟎𝟕 𝐦 𝐨𝐫 𝟕 𝐜𝐦

    The object is at equilibrium condition (Fluids at rest)


    ∑ Fy = 0
    BF − wL − wo = 0
    ρfluid Vs g− wL − wo = 0
    ρfluid Vs g − mL g − ρo Vo g = 0
    Solving for mL
    mL = ρfluid Vs − ρo Vo
    kg kg
    mL = (1000 3 ) (0.20m)3 − (650 3 ) (0.20m)3

    2. The gravitational force exerted on a solid object is 5.00 N. When the object is
    suspended from a spring scale and submerged in water, the scale reads 3.50 N.
    Find the density of the object

    Solution:

    When the object is suspended in air, the scale reads the true weight T1 = mg = 5N.
    When the object is immersed in water, the buoyant force BF reduces the scale
    reading to an apparent weight of T2 = 3.50 N.

    ∑ Fy = 0
    T2 + BF − T1 = 0
    ρF (V0 )g = T1 − T2
    T1 −T2
    Vo = ρF g

    ρo = v

    ρo = T1 −T2
    ρF g

    ρo = T ρF

    ρo = 5N−3.50 N (1000 m3 )
