      • There are many forces that act on solids, but there are only four main forces present in fluids: Gravity – this is always present, but is sometimes negligible in comparison to other forces Pressure – this is also always present, and is always modelled as compressive and normal to the surface

  2. Archimedesprinciple refers to the force of buoyancy that results when a body is submerged in a fluid, whether partially or wholly. The force that provides the pressure of a fluid acts on a body perpendicular to the surface of the body.

  3. The buoyant force is always present in a fluid, whether an object floats, sinks or remains suspended. The buoyant force is a result of pressure exerted by the fluid. The fluid pushes on all sides of an immersed object, but as pressure increases with depth, the push is stronger on the bottom surface of the object than in the top (as seen in ).

  4. The buoyant force is always present and acting on any object immersed either partially or entirely in a fluid. Archimedes’ principle states that the buoyant force on an object equals the weight of the fluid it displaces.

    • (a) Even objects that sink, like this anchor, are partly supported by water when submerged. (b) Submarines have adjustable density (ballast tanks) so that they may float or sink as desired.
    • Pressure due to the weight of a fluid increases with depth since P=hρg. This pressure and associated upward force on the bottom of the cylinder are greater than the downward force on the top of the cylinder.
    • (a) An object submerged in a fluid experiences a buoyant force F. If F is greater than the weight of the object, the object will rise. If F is less than the weight of the object, the object will sink.
    • An unloaded ship (a) floats higher in the water than a loaded ship (b).
