An object of volume 4 metercube is immersed in a liquid of density 1030 kilogramme per meter cubic meter calculate the upthrust of liquid of the object
Archimedes says
Force up = weight of fluid displaced
= density * gravity * volume displaced
= 1030 * 9.81 * 4 = 40,417 Newtons
To calculate the upthrust, we need to first understand the concept of buoyancy and Archimedes' principle.
Buoyancy is the upward force exerted on an object submerged in a fluid, such as a liquid or a gas. According to Archimedes' principle, the buoyant force experienced by an object immersed in a fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object.
In this case, the object has a volume of 4 cubic meters, and it is immersed in a liquid with a density of 1030 kilograms per cubic meter.
To calculate the upthrust or buoyant force, we need to find the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. The weight of the fluid is equal to the product of the density, volume, and the acceleration due to gravity.
Upthrust = Density of the liquid × Volume of the object × Acceleration due to gravity
Upthrust = 1030 kg/m³ × 4 m³ × 9.8 m/s²
Upthrust = 40312 N (newtons)
Therefore, the upthrust or buoyant force of the liquid on the object is 40312 N.
