what buoyant force and fluids are | Mind Map

a fluid is a nonsolid state of matter in which atoms are free to move past each other

liquids

Liquids can change shape; however, they have a definite volume (which makes them different from gases)

mass density is almost stable

gases

Gases, unlike solids and liquids, have indefinite shape and volume

mass density differs under certain temparatures and pressure levels

Fg/FB = Po/Pf

FB = Fg = mg

in case of a floating object

Formulas relating buoyant force, weight of displaced fluids, weight of the objects, and densities of both objects and fluids

ARCHIMEDES' PRINCIPLE

states that any object completely or partially submerged in a fluid experiences an upward buoyant force equal in magnitude to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object.

The apparent weight of a submerged object depends on density.

BUOYANT FORCES

buoyant force is the upward force exerted by a liquid on an object immersed or floating on the liquid

the weight of an object immersed in water is called the apparent weight
