A. An object will displace its volume in fluid when submerged. or An object will displace a volume of fluid equal to its weight when floating.. The buoyant force is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced and is forcing the object out of the fluid. Fb=Vpg Fb- buoyant force V - fluid's volume displaced p - density of the fluid g - acceleration due to gravity

A friend of Archimedes called Heracleides wrote a biography of him but sadly this work is lost.

Asked by vk - Fri Jan 23 20:19:22 2009 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments
A. OK, so when you put the cup with the pebble inside, does it remain afloat? You have 2 cases to consider, cup floats and cup sinks. First case, cup floats with pebble inside. When separated, I assume the cup floats and the pebble sinks. Consider what happens. When together, the water displaced is equal to the volume of the cup which equals the mass of the pebble and cup. When separate, the cup still floats, but displaces only as much water as the mass of the cup alone. The difference is related ONLY to the change in mass which changes the volume displaced when floating. The pebble sinking, however, displaces water only by its volume which weighs less than the pebble. This means if I have figured things correctly according to volumes and… [cont.]

Can someone explain exactly how Archimedes approximated pi by inscribing a 12-gon in a circle, please?
Q. What proportions did he use and how did he get them? Did he get an actual length (as in a number) of a side of the 12-gon? Thank you!
Asked by slivsterx3 - Sun Jun 15 19:39:13 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments
A. I don't know if this is exact enough for you but ... The idea is that the more sides you have on the polygon, the closer it is to a circle. So if you put a polygon inside the circle and another one outside the circle, the more sides you have the tighter they "squeeze" the circle. 12 is already pretty good. I wasn't there, but I presume he calculated actual lengths. Maybe he even measured them. See this picture. OAC is an equilateral triangle with side = r (radius of circle). Bisect it with radius OB. OAD is a right triangle 30-60-90 Using Pythagorean theorem, we can determine length OD. Which gives us DB (OD + DB = r). BAD is also a right triangle, so with DB and AD, and Pythagorean Theorem, we can find BA. That gives the… [cont.]

How to find the weight of a floating object using the archimedes principle?
Q. Do it work for objects that sink as well?
Asked by Potato Parade - Sun Feb 8 02:36:29 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. You can find the volume but you can't find the weight. If you fill a graduated cylinder with water, and you throw an object that sinks in it, the water level will rise equal to the amount of the volume (as it sinks it pushes water out of the way to take its place on the bottom). However you can't find the weight unless you know the density. Then mass = density*volume. If you are working in metric, then weight is 9.8 N/kg so you would multiply your mass by 9.8. If you are in English units, then weight = weightdensity*volume, because lbs are a unit of weight.

A. Archimedes death ray uses the principles of optics. Archimedes used the law of reflection (incident angle = reflective angle) in order to arange the mirrors. By calculating the exact angles at which the sun would hit and reflect off of the mirrors, Archimedes was able to position all of the mirrors in such a way as to reflect the light into a focal point. This focal point was at the center of the device and was a parabolic mirror. When all of the reflected light waves meet at the center of the parabolic mirror, they all reflect at the same angle towards the target. Due to the multiple rays of light being magnified by the mirrors, the luminous flux (F = I(4 )) of the ray would be much greater than if one were to reflect a ray of light with… [cont.]

Asked by Boo J - Thu Mar 12 04:49:34 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Archimedes says: buoyant force is equal to the weight of the volume of displaced fluid. So if the object floats, it is in equilibrium--the forces are balanced: weight of object = buoyant force = densityfluid* volume * g If the object is sinking, its weight exceeds the buoyant force, so the net force is: Fnet = weight - buoyant force = weight - densityfluid * volume * g = ma So the object accelerates downward: a = weight / m - densityfluid * volume * g / m = g (1 - densityfluid / densityobject) If you can measure that acceleration somehow, you can calculate the weight: weight = ma + densityfluid * volume * g

PV = k Pascal's Law states that a change in the pressure of an enclosed incompressible fluid is conveyed undiminished to every part of the fluid and to the surfaces of its container. P = pg( h) Archimedes' Principle states that any body wholly or partially submerged in a fluid is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced.

Remember it by this: The Amount of Absconded liquid is equal to the buoyant force. Use the As to match to Archimedes. Bernoulli Principle: Faster moving air exerts less force than slower moving air. Remember it by this: Blowing air Belittles force. Use the Bs to match to Bernoulli.
