Study Notes
Weight
- The weight of an object is the force with which the earth attracts it.
- Weight is directly proportional to the mass of the object and the acceleration due to gravity.
- The weight of an object on Earth is 6 times greater than the weight of the same object on the Moon.
Thrust
- Thrust is a force acting perpendicular to a surface.
- The force of thrust depends on the area it acts upon.
- For the same force, a smaller area will result in greater pressure.
Pressure
- Pressure is the force acting on a unit area.
- Pressure, therefore, is the effect of thrust on a surface.
Archimedes’ Principle
- When an object is fully or partially submerged in a fluid, it experiences an upward force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object.
- This upward force is called the buoyant force.
Relative Density
- The density of a substance is the mass per unit volume.
- Relative density is the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of water.
- Relative density has no units.
- The density of water is taken as 1000 kg m–3.
- Since the density of a substance is one of its characteristic properties, it can be used to determine the purity of a substance.
Applications for Archimedes’ Principle
- Ships and submarines are designed based on the principle of buoyancy.
- Lactometers, used to test the purity of milk, and hydrometers, used to measure the density of liquids, are also based on this principle.
- Archimedes’ principle can be used to determine the volume, density, and purity of solids.
