Buoyancy

The document discusses the concepts of buoyancy and stability for floating and submerged bodies, explaining how buoyant force allows objects to float and the conditions for equilibrium. It defines static and dynamic stability and provides formulas for calculating buoyant force and weight for both floating and submerged bodies. Additionally, it addresses the analysis of merged bodies and the importance of the center of buoyancy and center of gravity in determining stability.

Buoyancy and Stability

• Buoyancy: This is the upward force exerted by a fluid (such


as water or air) on an object immersed in it. It is equal to the
weight of the fluid that the object displaces. The buoyant
force is what allows objects to float.
• Stability: Stability refers to the ability of a body to return to
its original position after it has been disturbed. In the context
of floating bodies, stability can be classified into two types:
• Static Stability: This refers to the tendency of a body to return to its
original position after it has been tilted or displaced.
• Dynamic Stability: This refers to the tendency of a body to resist
rolling or capsizing when subjected to external forces.
Buoyancy and Stability
Floating Bodies

• For floating bodies, buoyancy and weight are in equilibrium.


The weight of the body is equal to the buoyant force acting on
it.
• Equilibrium condition: Weight of body=Buoyant force
• Buoyant force (FB​) can be calculated using Archimedes'
principle: =FB​=ρ⋅V⋅g where:
• ρ is the density of the fluid,
• V is the volume of the fluid displaced by the body, and
• g is the acceleration due to gravity.
Floating Bodies
Submerged Bodies

• Submerged Bodies: For submerged bodies, they experience


two forces: their weight and the buoyant force. The buoyant
force acting on the submerged body is still equal to the
weight of the fluid it displaces.
• Equilibrium condition: Weight of body=Buoyant force
• Weight of the body (W) is calculated by multiplying the
volume of the body (Vbody​) by the density of the material
(ρbody​) and the acceleration due to gravity (g): =W=ρbody​
⋅Vbody​⋅g
• Buoyant force (FB​) is calculated as before.
Submerged Bodies
Merged Bodies

• Merged Bodies:
• When two or more bodies are combined or merged, the total
buoyant force acting on the merged body is the sum of the
buoyant forces acting on each individual body. Similarly, the
total weight is the sum of the weights of the individual bodies.
• FBtotal​=∑FBi​​total=∑Wtotal​=∑Wi
• This is the basic framework for analyzing buoyancy and stability
of floating and submerged bodies. Further calculations involving
stability would involve analyzing the center of buoyancy and the
center of gravity to determine the metacentric height, which
determines the stability of the floating body. For submerged
bodies, stability analysis might involve considering the
distribution of forces and moments acting on the body.
