2 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What does Archimedes' principle state?
Think about what happens to objects when they are placed in water.
Define stable equilibrium.
Think of how a buoyant object behaves in water.
What is the buoyant force?
Consider what keeps an object afloat in water.
True or False: If the metacenter is below the center of gravity, the floating body is in stable equilibrium.
Think about object stability when tilted.
Calculate the metacentric height of a boat that has a center of buoyancy that moves up by 0.2 meters when tilted and has a center of gravity at 1 meter above sea level.
Remember: BM > BG for stability.
A floating object tips slightly, moving its center of gravity upward, potentially affecting stability. How would you experimentally determine if the object is stable or unstable?
Observe and test the recovery behavior after the tilting.
