Concept explainers

Fluid Pressure

The term fluid pressure is coined as, the measurement of the force per unit area of a given surface of a closed container. It is a branch of physics that helps to study the properties of fluid under various conditions of force.

Gauge Pressure

Pressure is the physical force acting per unit area on a body; the applied force is perpendicular to the surface of the object per unit area. The air around us at sea level exerts a pressure (atmospheric pressure) of about 14.7 psi but this doesn’t seem to bother anyone as the bodily fluids are constantly pushing outwards with the same force but if one swims down into the ocean a few feet below the surface one can notice the difference, there is increased pressure on the eardrum, this is due to an increase in hydrostatic pressure.

Question

### Buoyant Force Explanation

A block of ice (density 920 kg/m³), a block of concrete (density 2000 kg/m³), and a block of iron (density 7800 kg/m³) are all submerged in the same fluid. All three blocks have the same volume. Which block experiences the greatest buoyant force?

- **All three experience the same buoyant force** (selected option).
- the answer depends on the density of the fluid
- the concrete
- the ice
- the iron

#### Detailed Explanation:
When determining the buoyant force acting on submerged objects, it is essential to consider Archimedes' principle. Archimedes' principle states that the buoyant force on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object.

Since all three blocks have the same volume and are submerged in the same fluid, they all displace the same amount of fluid. Therefore, regardless of their densities, the buoyant force on each block is the same.

### Conceptual Takeaway:
The buoyant force on an object submerged in a fluid depends solely on the volume of the displaced fluid, not the material's density making up the object.
