Buoyancy Flashcards
1
Q
Define Archimedes Principle.
A
A body immersed in a fluid experiences an up-thrust (Buoyancy) equal to the weight of the displaced mass of the fluid.
2
Q
How do you calculate Buoyancy?
A
A (buoyancy) = Vpw g
Vpw = volume of animal g = acceleration due to gravity.
3
Q
How do you calculate the weight of an animal?
A
W = Pa g
Pa = average density of animal. g = acceleration due to gravity.
