Conditions for Flotation in terms of density
CONDITIONS FOR FLOATATION IN TERM OF DENSITY: Factors Affecting Buoyant Force or Floatation :
The magnitude of buoyant force or floatation depends on the following factors:
(i) Density of the Fluid: The liquid having higher density exerts more upward buoyant force on an object than another liquid of lower density. This is the reason, why it is easier to swim in sea water in comparison to normal water. Because sea water has higher density and hence exerts a greater buoyant force on the swimmer than the fresh water having lower density.
(ii) Volume of Object Immersed in the Liquid: As the volume of solid object immersed inside the liquid increases, the upward buoyant force also increases.
The magnitude of buoyant force acting on a solid object does not depend on the nature of the solid object. It depends only on its volume. e.g. When two balls made of different metals having different weights but equal volume when fully immersed in a liquid, they will experience an equal upward buoyant force as both the balls displace equal weight of the liquid due to their equal volumes.
For bodies with no air space: An ice cube, wooden block, a rod, a nail, etc., are bodies that have no vacant space or air space,i.e. there is no air trapped in them. The condition for the floatation of such bodies and the liquid concerned.
Suppose the volume of abody is V and its density is . Suppose it is immerged in a liquid of density
.
The mass of the body is M =
The weight of the body is W = Mg = Vg
The volume of the displaced liquid = V
The weight of this displaced liquid = Vg
Thus, the force of buoyancy B = Vg
The body will come up and float if
B > W
Vg = V
g
Thus, a body that has no air space will float only if its density is less than that of the liquid.
For bodies with air space: A small needle made of stainless steel sinks in water, but a larger bowl made up of stainless steel floats. This is beacause a bowl can displace a much greater volume of water than the volume of steel used to make it. A covered bowl which can hold one litre of milk, can displace slightly more than 1 litre of water when completely immerged in the water.So we should be more careful while using the equation.
Which of the following are correct : (a) The liquid having higher density exerts more upward buoyant force on an object than another liquid of lower density. (b) Sea water has higher density and hence exerts a greater buoyant force on the swimmer than the fresh water having lower density. (c) As the volume of solid object immersed inside the liquid increases, the upward buoyant force also increases. | |||

Abhyas Methodology is very good. It is based on according to student and each child manages accordingly to its properly. Methodology has improved the abilities of students to shine them in future.

10thUsually we see institutes offering objective based learning which usually causes a lag behind in subjective examinations which is the pattern followed by schools. I think it is really a work of planning to make us students grab the advantages of modes of examination, Objective Subjective and Onli...

8thI have spent a wonderful time in Abhyas academy. It has made my reasoning more apt, English more stronger and Maths an interesting subject for me. It has given me a habbit of self studying

10thMy experience with Abhyas Academy has been very good. When I was not in Abhyas whenever teacher ask questions I could not speak it confidently but when I came in Abhyas, my speaking skills developed and now I am the first one to give the answer of teachers question.

7thWhen I have not joined Abhyas Academy, my skills of solving maths problems were not clear. But, after joining it, my skills have been developed and my concepts of science and SST are very well. I also came to know about other subjects such as vedic maths and reasoning.

7thThe experience was nice. I studied here for three years and saw a tremendous change in myself. I started liking subjects like English and SST which earlier I ran from. Extra knowledge gave me confidence to overcome competitive exams. One of the best institutes for secondary education.

10thAbhyas is an institute of high repute. Yogansh has taken admission last year. It creates abilities in child to prepare for competitive exams. Students are motivated by living prizes on basis of performance in Abhyas exams. He is satisfied with institute.

7thMy experience with Abhyas academy is very good. I did not think that my every subject coming here will be so strong. The main thing is that the online tests had made me learn here more things.

8thIt was a good experience with Abhyas Academy. I even faced problems in starting but slowly and steadily overcomed. Especially reasoning classes helped me a lot.
Cheshta
10thWe started with lot of hope that Abhyas will help in better understnding of complex topics of highers classes. we are not disappointed with the progress our child has made after attending Abhyas. Though need to mention that we expected a lot more. On a scale of 1-10, we would give may be 7.
Manya
8thAbhyas academy is great place to learn. I have learnt a lot here they have finished my fear of not answering.It has created a habit of self studying in me.The teachers here are very supportive and helpful. Earlier my maths and science was good but now it has been much better than before.

10thThird consective year,my ward is in Abhyas with nice experience of admin and transport support.Educational standard of the institute recumbent at satisfactory level. One thing would live to bring in notice that last year study books was distributed after half of the session was over,though study ...
Ayan Ghosh
8thOne of the best institutes to develope a child interest in studies.Provides SST and English knowledge also unlike other institutes. Teachers are co operative and friendly online tests andPPT develope practical knowledge also.
Aman Kumar Shrivastava
10thMy experience with Abhyas is very good. I have learnt many things here like vedic maths and reasoning also. Teachers here first take our doubts and then there are assignments to verify our weak points.
Shivam Rana
7thA marvelous experience with Abhyas. I am glad to share that my ward has achieved more than enough at the Ambala ABHYAS centre. Years have passed on and more and more he has gained. May the centre flourish and develop day by day by the grace of God.
