Problem
Is it possible to float on water when there are
a large number of bubbles present? Study how
the buoyancy of an object depends on the
presence of bubbles.
Observation
Floating
object
Generating more
bubbles
Object
sinking

Observation
Total volume of water
increases (water
surface rises)
Floating object sinks
decreased
buoyancy?
Theory 1
When there are no bubbles,
Density of water =
= 1000

When there are bubbles,

B
Unconfined system
Bubbles lower effective

Water flow (flow speed,
impulse force)
increases effective
density

23
Conclusion
Presence of bubbles lower average density of
water
Buoyancy is decreased
Confined system
No evident water flow
Unconfined system
Significant impulse force
Effective density can be raised
Possible to float in the midst of bubbles
