TOPIC 05-ARCHIMEDES’S PRINCIPLE AND THE LAW OF FLOTATION

Archimedes’s Principle

Consider a piece of wood that is held below the surface of a liquid and then released .The wood comes to the surface immediately.

When a piece of wood is immersed in a fluid, then it floats due to the buoyant force or upthrust.
Upthrust is the upward force that enables the object to float or at least seem lighter
The upthrust is greater than the weight of the wood, that is why the wood is pushed to the surface

Archimedes Principle (the law of buoyancy)

It states that:

“When a body is partially or totally immersed in a fluid it experiences an upthrust which is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced”
