Define a fluid.
Distinguish a gas from a liquid.
Determine the magnitude of the buoyant force exerted on a floating object or a submerged object.
Explain why some objects float and some objects sink.

2. Chapter 8 Defining a Fluid
Section 1 Fluids and Buoyant Force
Chapter 8
Defining a Fluid
A fluid is a nonsolid state of matter in which the atoms or molecules are free to move past each other, as in a gas or a liquid.
Both liquids and gases are considered fluids because they can flow and change shape.
Liquids have a definite volume; gases do not.

3. Density and Buoyant Force
Section 1 Fluids and Buoyant Force
Chapter 8
Density and Buoyant Force
The concentration of matter of an object is called the mass density.
Mass density is measured as the mass per unit volume of a substance.

The buoyant force is the upward force exerted by a liquid on an object immersed in or floating on the liquid.
Buoyant forces can keep objects afloat.

Archimedes’ principle describes the magnitude of a buoyant force.
Archimedes’ principle: Any object completely or partially submerged in a fluid experiences an upward buoyant force equal in magnitude to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object.
FB = Fg (displaced fluid) = mfg
magnitude of buoyant force = weight of fluid displaced

For a floating object, the buoyant force equals the object’s weight.
The apparent weight of a submerged object depends on the density of the object.
For an object with density rO submerged in a fluid of density rf, the buoyant force FB obeys the following ratio:

Buoyant Force
A bargain hunter purchases a “gold” crown at a flea market. After she gets home, she hangs the crown from a scale and finds its weight to be 7.84 N. She then weighs the crown while it is immersed in water, and the scale reads 6.86 N. Is the crown made of pure gold? Explain.

From the table, the density of gold is 19.3  103 kg/m3. Because 8.0  103 kg/m3 < 19.3  103 kg/m3, the crown cannot be pure gold.
