• Buoyancy
• Cause of force
• Acting force
• Calculation
• Archimedes principle
• Examples of buoyancy
what is buoyant force
• When a body is immersed in fluid, an upward
force is exerted by the fluid on the body .
• This upward force is equal to the weight of the
fluid displaced by the body .
What cause buoyant force ?
• buoyant force is the
upward force on an object
exerted by the
surrounding fluid .
• When an object pushes
water , the water pushes
back with as much force
as it can.
• If the water can push
back as hard the object. If
not ,it sinks.
Force acting on buoyancy
• The buoyant force is caused by the difference
between the pressure at the top of the object
(gravitational force ).
• The pressure at the bottom is always greater
than the top.
How do we calculate BF ?
• buoyancy =‘the floating force
• Water is heavier than the object so the
object floats .
• Buoyant force is measured in Newtons .
• bf = wair - wwater
Archimedes principle
• Archimedes principle is named after
ARCHIMEDES of SYRACUSE who first
discovered this law in 212 BC .
• An object partially or wholly immersed in a
liquid is buoyed up by the force equal to
the weight of the liquid displaced by the
object .
