Question 1

What does Archimedes' principle describe?

  • Buoyant force equals weight of displaced fluid
  • Weight equals mass times gravity
  • Pressure equals force divided by area

💡 Hint: Think about floating objects in fluid.

Question 2

True or False: A metacenter is where buoyant force acts when the object is tilted.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Recall the earlier discussion about buoyancy.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A rectangular box is submerged in water. If the box dimensions are 2m x 1m x 1m, with a density of 500 kg/m³, calculate the buoyant force acting on the box.

💡 Hint: Use the formula: Buoyant Force = Density of Fluid * Volume Displaced * g.

Question 2

A floating object is observed to have its center of gravity and metacenter coinciding. What type of equilibrium is this, and what does it imply about the object's stability?

💡 Hint: Consider the implications when buoyancy and weight act through the same point.
