What does a submerged object experience?
What does a submerged object experience?
Pressure from the liquid
Pressure vs depth in liquid
Pressure vs depth in liquid
Pressure increases with depth
Surface w/ more pressure: top or bottom
Surface w/ more pressure: top or bottom
Bottom surface
Upthrust definition
Upthrust definition
Resultant upward force on submerged object
Direction of upthrust
Direction of upthrust
Upwards
Upthrust equals
Upthrust equals
Weight of water displaced by object
Condition for object to float
Condition for object to float
Upthrust equal to or more than object weight
Condition for object to sink
Condition for object to sink
Upthrust less than object weight
Why bottom surface has more pressure
Why bottom surface has more pressure
Pressure increases with depth
Property determining sink or float
Property determining sink or float
Density of object
Why higher density objects sink
Why higher density objects sink
Displaced water weighs less, so upthrust < weight
