Physics

Question 1

What is Archimedes Principle?

Answer 1

States that when a body is immersed in a fluid the upthrust it experiences is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced (by the body)

Question 2

Archimedes Principle- Formula for object floating in water

Answer 2

Density liquid X Volume object in water X g = Density object X Volume total object X g

Question 3

Archimedes Principle - Formula for object with mass placed on top so that all object is submerged

Answer 3

Density Liquid X Volume total object (totally submerged) X g = Density object X volume total X g + Density mass X Volume total mass X g

Question 4

Archimedes Principle - mass hanging off balance and becomes submerged in liquid Formula

Answer 4

upthrust= Density liquid X Volume object in water X g

Question 5

Archimedes Principle - Balloon with mass M attached - Formula

Answer 5

Density air X Volume total X g = Density gas(in balloon) X Volume total X g + Mg
