    Fluid Statics Part 3 - Basic Fluid Mechanics

    Uploaded by

    Ero Rosal
    This document covers concepts of fluid statics including buoyancy, forces on submerged planes and bodies, and center of pressure. It defines buoyant force as the difference between the weight of an object in air and in liquid. For a submerged body, if its weight is greater than buoyant force, it will sink, if less it will rise, and if equal the densities of body and fluid are also equal. Stable floating occurs when the center of buoyancy is above the center of gravity, while unstable occurs when it is below. Examples and practice problems are provided to demonstrate calculating volume, specific gravity, and draft using concepts of buoyancy, weight, density, and fluid properties.

    Concepts for Submerged Body:

    A body DHCK submerged in a fluid below, From the figure,

    𝐹𝑧 = 𝑊𝐴𝐵𝐶𝐻𝐷 Eqn. 1
    Free Surface
    𝐹𝑧′ = 𝑊𝐴𝐵𝐶𝐾𝐷 Eqn. 2

    𝑉𝑏𝑜𝑑𝑦 = 𝑉𝐴𝐵𝐶𝐾𝐷 − 𝑉𝐴𝐵𝐶𝐻𝐷 Eqn. 3

    𝐹𝐵 = 𝐹𝑍′ − 𝐹𝑍 Eqn. 4

    “Equation 4 tells that the buoyant force (FB) on any


    body is equal to the weight of fluid displaced”

    Thus, equation 4 result to equation 5,


    Figure 1 Eqn. 5 W = 𝐹𝐵 “it tells that the densities of
    body and fluid are equal”

    Concepts for Submerged Body:
    continuation, In mathematical form,
    Scenarios Remarks
    If W > FB The body will sink 𝐹𝐵 = 𝑊𝑜 − 𝑊𝑎 Eqn. 6
    If W < FB The body will rise until
    its density and that of where,
    the fluid are equal
    𝐹𝐵 = 𝑏𝑜𝑢𝑦𝑎𝑛𝑡 𝑓𝑜𝑟𝑐𝑒
    If W = FB The densities of body
    and fluid are equal 𝑊𝑜 = 𝑤𝑒𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡 𝑜𝑓 𝑎𝑛 𝑜𝑏𝑗𝑒𝑐𝑡

    BUOYANT FORCE is defined also as equal to the 𝑊𝑎 = 𝑎𝑝𝑝𝑎𝑟𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝑤𝑒𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡


    difference between the weight of the object in air
    and the weight of the object in liquid. The weight of
    the object in the liquid is sometimes called apparent
    weight.

    Concepts for Floating Body:

    As shown below the two floating bodies, (a) stable Point/s to consider,
    floating body, and (b) unstable floating body.
    • For a body in a liquid with a free surface, if tis
    weight W is less than that of the same volume of
    liquid, it will rise and float on the surface so that
    W = FB.
    • For stable body, the center of buoyancy (B) is
    above the center of gravity (‘C).
    • For unstable body, the center of buoyancy (B) is
    below the center of gravity (‘C).

    Concepts for Floating Body:

    As shown below a section of a hull ship that is stable For equilibrium,


    and its center of buoyancy is below its center of
    gravity. • Forces W and FB must be equal and must lie in
    the same vertical line.
    • For the case at b, W and FB constitute a couple of
    magnitude W x a. This is a righting couple since it
    tends to restore the body to the upright position.

    Example:
    A stone weighs 105 lb in air. When submerged Thus, compute FB;
    in water, it weighs 67.0 lb. Find the volume
    and specific gravity of the stone. 𝐹𝐵 = 105 𝑙𝑏 − 67.0 𝑙𝑏
    Solution:
    𝐹𝐵 = 38 𝑙𝑏
    Applying equation 6 (definition for buoyant
    force), Then applying equation 3,

    𝑉𝑏𝑜𝑑𝑦 = 𝑉𝑙𝑜𝑤𝑒𝑟 𝑙𝑖𝑞𝑢𝑖𝑑 − 𝑉𝑢𝑝𝑝𝑒𝑟 𝑙𝑖𝑞𝑢𝑖𝑑


    𝐹𝐵 = 𝑊𝑜 − 𝑊𝑎 Eqn. 6
    Multiplied by specific weight of water (from note in equation 5),
    where,
    γℎ2𝑜 𝑉𝑏𝑜𝑑𝑦 = γℎ2𝑜 (𝑉𝑙𝑜𝑤𝑒𝑟 𝑙𝑖𝑞𝑢𝑖𝑑 − 𝑉𝑢𝑝𝑝𝑒𝑟 𝑙𝑖𝑞𝑢𝑖𝑑 )
    𝑊𝑜 = 105 𝑙𝑏
    γℎ2𝑜 𝑉𝑏𝑜𝑑𝑦 = 𝐹𝐵
    𝑊𝑎 = 67.0 𝑙𝑏

    Continuation,

    γℎ2𝑜 𝑉𝑏𝑜𝑑𝑦 = 𝐹𝐵 Thus,


    105 𝑙𝑏
    s.g = 𝑙𝑏
    Solve for volume of body/object, (0.609 𝑓𝑡3)(62.4
    𝑓𝑡3
    )

    𝐹𝐵
    𝑉𝑏𝑜𝑑𝑦 = s.g = 2.763 Answer.
    γℎ2𝑜

    𝑉𝑏𝑜𝑑𝑦 =

    𝑓𝑡

    𝑉𝑏𝑜𝑑𝑦 = 0.609 𝑓𝑡3 Answer.

    Then, specific gravity is defined as,


    𝑤𝑒𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡 𝑜𝑓 𝑠𝑡𝑜𝑛𝑒 𝑖𝑛 𝑎𝑖𝑟
    s.g =
