Physics-Project: Name-Ayush Singh Class-9H Subject Teacher - Mr. Amardepp Tripathi Class Teacher-Ms Pankhuri Singh

The document is a physics project by Ayush Singh about upthrust (buoyancy) that defines the concept, provides the formula, and gives examples such as how ships float and straws in water. It discusses Archimedes' principle through an experiment demonstrating that the upthrust force equals the weight of the displaced fluid. Applications of upthrust and Archimedes' principle are explored including beach balls, hot air balloons, and factors affecting floating and sinking.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
I would like to thank my teacher Mr
Amardepp Tripathi for helping me with
this project. He allowed me to work on
this project. Along with that, I would also
like to thank my school principal Mrs .
Vineeta Kamran whole heartedly . I would
also want to thank my parents and friends
who helped me in finalizing this project
within a limited time frame.
UPTHRUST
Buoyancy, or up thrust, is an upward force
exerted by a fluid that opposes the weight of a
partially or fully immersed object. In a column of
fluid, pressure increases with depth as a result of
the weight of the overlying fluid. It only exists in
liquids , such as lakes, oceans and even in cups of
tea.
UNIT AND FORMULA OF UPTHRUST
Formula for up thrust is
F =Vρg(up thrust= volume of liquid displaced ×
density of liquid × acceleration due to gravity)
Unit= si system Newton(N)
Up thrust(Vρg)= weight of the liquid displaced
by the submergence part of the body
EXAMPLES OF UPTHRUST
*A force of gravity that acts on a ship in order to pull it towards the
downward direction is opposed by a counterforce acting on it in the
upward direction, called the up thrust. Both the forces acting on the
ship are equal and opposite in nature. Hence, a balanced force is said
to be existing. This balance between fluid force i.e., up thrust force
and the gravitational force helps the ship to float on the surface of the
water.
*When a straw is kept idle in a glass filled with some liquid, it tends to
float and pop out of the glass. The straw experiences a push force
from all directions. This force compels the straw to move upwards and
float. The lower portion of the straw that is submersed properly in the
fluid experiences more up thrust force than the top portion of the
straw. This is because buoyancy is directly proportional to the depth.
ARCHIMEDES PRINCIPLE
Archimedes principle
states that when a body
is immersed partially or
completely in a liquid , it
experiences an up thrust
, which it Is equal to the
weight of the liquid
displaced by it.
Archimedes Principle
Experiment
*Take a mug filled with water to the
brim and place it in an empty bowl.
*Now take any solid object you like
and measure its weight using a spring
balance. Note this down.
*Keep the object attached to the
spring balance and submerge it in the
water. Just make sure the spring
balance is not submerged.
*Now, note down the weight shown
by the spring balance. You will notice
that it is less. Some water will be
displaced into the bowl.
*Collect this water and weigh it. You
will find that the weight of the water
will be exactly equal to the loss of
weight of the object!
Archimedes Principle Applications in Daily Life

* BEACH BALLS
Beach balls are filled with air only, so they have a very small
weight, hence they do not displace much water. Since they
displace less water, the buoyant force acting on them is also very
less, but when we try to push the ball into the water, the buoyant
force acting on it increases, which does not let the beach ball sink
into the water, and it floats on the water surface.
*Hot Air Balloon
The balloon rises in the air when the weight of the air surrounding
the balloon is greater than its own weight, whereas if the weight
of the balloon is greater, it will start descending. When the weight
of the surrounding air and hot air balloon is equal, it becomes
stationary. The density between the air and the balloon is
controlled by varying the amount of hot air in the balloon.
FLOATATION
If the up thrust is less than the weight of the
object, the object will sink . If the density of the
object is greater than the density of the fluid, the
object can never displace enough fluid to create
an up thrust that will hold its weight up so it
sinks . The sinking only stops when the object
reaches the bottom and an extra reaction force is
added to the up thrust in order to balance the
weight . If the up thrust is larger than the weight
of the object, the object will rise.
EXAMPLES OF FLOATATION
*An iron nail sinks in water while a
piece of cork floats. This is because a
object with higher density than water
would sink in water while with lower
density would float.
As cork has lower density than water, it
floats while nail with higher density
sinks.

* Its much easier to float or swim in


saltwater than in freshwater . It is
because salty water have higher density
than fresh water. The dead sea and the
red sea are the saltiest seas in the
world. Its very easy to float on it we can
also read a newspaper on it while
floating.
