Physics Fall 2014 Lecture Archimedes’ principle The magnitude of the buoyant force is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. The buoyant force is the total upward force exerted on an object by the surrounding fluid.
Physics Fall 2014 Lecture How do boats float? If the density of an object is less than that of water, an object floats in water. If the density of an object is greater than that of water, an object sinks in water. …but boats can be made of metal, e.g., aluminum ( Al / W ~ 2.7)…
Physics Fall 2014 Lecture A cubical block made of a certain type of plastic has a density of 0.75 g/cm 3. The density of water is 1.0 g/cm 3. If the block is allowed to float in water, what fraction of the volume of the block would be below the water level? 1.one quarter 2.one half 3.three quarters 4.some other fraction
