Conceptual Physics-Archimedes Principle?

If a boat holding an anchor floats in a pond with a marked water level. Considering the following will the water rise, fall, or not change.

1. Anchor is removed from boat and dropped on shore

2. Anchor is dropped into pond

Answer using Archimedes Principle: an object is immersed in a fluid is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object.

Comments

  • 1. There is less pond displaced (none of the weight of the anchor) so the water level should fall.

    2. There is less pond displaced (only part of the weight of the anchor is displaced) - fall again.

  • To get your quantity, you will choose a shower with rapidly factors. Fill it adequate so as which you will thoroughly immerse your self into it and mesaure how extreme the water rises. That shows how a lot you displace the water. Now, enable's say the tub is two meter by way of a million meter and you advance the water point by way of .25 meters (those figures are probable not even close), then your quantity would be 2 * a million * .25 or .5 cubic meters. Get your weight (to make it simple i visit anticipate which you weigh 100KG) and divde that by way of your quantity or one hundred/.5 which could provide 2 hundred kg/cubic meter. you are able to then get the density of the different ingredients (verify your physics books or do a seek on the internet) and end your undertaking.

  • I'm extremely curious about the answer to this
