BOUYANCY AND DEFINATION AND

APPLICATION IN
BERNOULLI'S EFFECT ARCHITECTURE
DEFINATION
When an object is placed in liquid, it exerts an upward force on object. which makes the
object appear to be lighter. This upward force is called buoyancy.
refers to whether something can float in water or air, or the power of water or other liquids
to keep water afloat, or an optimistic disposition. An example of buoyancy is when a boat
floats in water. An example of buoyancy is when salt water has the ability to help things
float.
FACTORS AFFECTING BOUYANCY

1. Volume of the body submerged in the liquid or volume of the liquid displaced- The
buoyancy force increases with increase in the volume of the object.
2. Density of the liquid-Buoyancy increases with increase in density.
3. Acceleration due to gravity-The force of buoyancy also increases with increase in
acceleration due to gravity.
Considering the overall object density. If it is less than that of the fluid, the object will float
and achieve the above condition once it comes to rest. On the other hand, if the overall
object is greater than that of the fluid, it will sink. Even when the body sinks, buoyant force
acts on it. Just that it is dominated by the force of gravity acting on the body. When in the
process of sinking or already sunk, the buoyancy force depends on the volume of the
object, the density of the fluid and more importantly, the local gravitational field.
BERNOULLI'S EFFECT
Bernoulli Principle states that slower moving fluids create greater pressure (force)
than faster moving fluids. Tell the students that air is a fluid because it flows and can
change its shape.
An example of Bernoulli's principle is the wing of an airplane; the shape of the wing
causes air to travel for a longer period on top of the wing, causing air to travel faster,
reducing the air pressure and creating lift, as compared to the distance traveled, the
air speed and the air pressure experienced beneath the plane
