What does Archimedes' principle state?
Think about what happens when an object is put into water.
Define the center of buoyancy.
Consider where the buoyant force acts.
What is the principle of buoyancy?
Think about what happens when an object is submerged.
True or False: In stable equilibrium, a floating object returns to its original position after a disturbance.
Consider what happens if the object is tipped slightly.
A vessel floats with a center of gravity at 2 m above the waterline and a metacenter at 3 m above the waterline. Determine if the vessel is stable or unstable.
Calculate BM and compare it with BG.
You have a rectangular object submerged in fluid. The width is 1 m, height is 0.5 m, and fluid has a density of 1000 kg/m^3. Calculate the buoyant force acting on the object.
Remember to find the displaced volume.
