CIE A Level Physics复习笔记4.2.5 Archimedes Principle
Archimedes' Principle
- Archimedes’ principle states that an object submerged in a fluid at rest has an upward buoyancy force (upthrust) equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object
- The object sinks until the weight of the fluid displaced is equal to its own weight
- Therefore the object floats when the magnitude of the upthrust equals the weight of the object
- The magnitude of upthrust can be calculated by:
Upthrust equation
- Since m = ρV, upthrust is equal to F = mg which is the weight of the fluid displaced by the object
- Archimedes’ Principle explains how ships float:
Boats float because they displace an amount of water that is equal to their weight
Worked Example
Icebergs typically float with a large volume of ice beneath the water. Ice has a density of 917 kg m-3 and a volume of Vi.The density of seawater is 1020 kg m-3.What fraction of the iceberg is above the water?
A. 0.10 Vi B. 0.90 Vi C. 0.97 Vi D. 0.20 Vi
