16
Q

Define Archemedies principle.

A

The upthrust exereted on a body immersed in a fluid, whether fully or partially submerged, is equal to the weight of the fluid the body displaces.

17
Q

The larger the volume……..

A

The larger the displaced fluid.

18
Q

When does upthrust increase?

A

When the weight of one fluid is greater than another, therfore upthrust depends on the density of a fluid.

19
Q

Where on a submarine has the greatest pressure?

A

At the bottom.

20
Q

When will a submarine rise?

A

When the density of the sbumarine is less than the desnity of the displaced fluid.

21
Q

How will a submarine remain at constant depth?

A

When the density of the subarine is equal to the density of the displaced fluid.

22
Q

Define Upthrust.

A

The upward buoyant force exterted on a n object immersed in fluid due to the pressure difference of a fluid at the top and bottom of the body, equal in maginitide to the weight of displaced fluid.
