Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Derive a formula for the change in the pond depth and explain whether the level of pond rise or fall.
Concept introduction:
Archimedes’ Principle is defined as:
The upward buoyant force that is exerted on a body immersed in a fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid that the body displaces or weight of the body immersed in a fluid.
This can be rewritten as,
Buoyant force (up) = Weight of block (down)
(b)
Interpretation:
Derive a formula for the change in the height of the bottom of the boat and bottom of the pond. Explain your answer.
