E. Learning Materials

1. FACT

a. Submarines can float, float and sink

2. CONCEPT
a. archimedes principle states that the upward buoyant force that is exerted on a
body immersed in a fluid, whether fully or partially submerged, is equal to the
weigh of the fluid that the body displaces and acts in the upward direction at the
center of mass of the displaced fluid.
b. Upward force is the force experienced by an object & is the difference between
the weight of an object when it is in the air and an object when it is partially or
completely immersed in a fluid (flow substance)
3. PRINCIPLE
Archimedes Principle

Archimedes Principle , which states that “ when a objects is immersed in a fluid

,the apparent loss of weight of an objects is equals to the upthrust and this is also equal
to the weight of the displace fluid “. Archimedes principle is mathemathically
formulated as :
Where FA is bouyant force , ρf is densiti of fluid , and Vbf is the volume of immersed
body. There are three possible case of a body in a fluid , i.e floating, barely floating and
sinking.
1. Floating
A object is said to be floating if only some of parts of the objects is beneath the water
surface and the other parts is above the water surface. The magnitude of bouyant
force is equals to the body’s w.
FA > mg
Vf ρf g > Vb ρb g
Vf ρf > Vb ρb

2. Barely Floating
On barely floating objects , the magnitude of bouyant force is equal to the objects
weight. Hence for a barely floating objects we have the relation ρf = ρb .
FA = w
Vf ρf g = Vb ρb g
ρf = ρb

3. Sinking
When an object is sinking its means that the bouyant force acts on the object is
smaller than its weight. The volume of the immersed objects equals to the total
 volume of the objects. An Object sinks in a fluid when density is greather than the
density of the fluid.
FA < w
Vf ρf g < Vb ρb g
ρf < ρb
Archimedes Principle is widely used in either technology or science. Some example
of device that work based on it.
