PX285 - J2 - hydrostatic limit and archimedes' principle
- bernoulli's principle can be applied between any two points in the fluid:
-
considering an object submerged in water
-
the depth of water is
-
air above the water exerts atmospheric pressure,
-
from bernoulli's principle:
-
can be taken to be zero, and is constant -
the total upward force on the object, which is the projection of the force on the z-axis
where,
- using bernoulli's principle:
where,
archimedes' principle
the vertical force on a submerged object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object
where,
