Answer the questions.
1. When does the buoyant forcebuoyant forcebuoyant force act on the body? 2. What does and what does not the buoyancy force depend on? 3. What is the content of Archimedes' principle? 4. What direction does the buoyant force have?
1. The buoyant force acts on the body immersed in liquids and gases. 2. The buoyant force depends on the densitydensitydensity of the liquid and the volumevolumevolume of the immersed part of the body. This force does not depend on the shape of the body, its mass, liquid volume. 3. For each body immersed in a liquid (or gas), there is a buoyant force that is directed upwards and equal in magnitude to the weight of the displaced liquiddisplaced liquiddisplaced liquid (or displaced gas). 4. The buoyant force has a vertical upward direction.

1. What forces act on the immersed block that comes up to the surface of the liquid? 2. What is the relationship between these forces: a) when the block is immersed, b) when the block floats partially immersed? 3. What is the relationship between the body and liquid density values of the case when the body flows to the surface?
1. The gravitational force () and the buoyant force () act on the emerging block. 2. There are various relationships between the buoyant force and the gravitational force: a) when the block emerges, the magnitude of the buoyant force is greater than the magnitude of the gravitational force, b) when the block is emerging (floats partially immersed), the gravitational force is balanced by the buoyant force - the magnitudes of these forces are equal. 3. The weight of the liquid displaced by the body () is larger than the weight of the immersed body (). Since the volume of the displaced liquiddisplaced liquiddisplaced liquid and the volumevolumevolume of the immersed body are the same, it can be concluded that the density of the liquid is larger than the density of the body.

In Photos 3 and 5 the buoyant force is larger than the gravitational force. 4. The buoyant force may be equal to the gravitational force in Photos 1 and 4. 5. In order for the submarine to emerge, it would be necessary to empty the ballast tanks, i.e. pump out the water from these tanks replacing it with gas.

Determine whether the sentences below are true or false.
a) If the body does not change the depth of its immersionimmersionimmersion in water, the weightweightweight of this body is equal to the buoyant force. b) If the body settles to the bottom of the ocean, the buoyant force acting on this body is 0. c) If a ship floats on the surface of the sea, the weight of the water displaced by the ship is equal to the weight of the ship.
a) True. b) False. c) True.
Summary

The body sinks in liquid or gas, i.e. settles to the bottom when: - the buoyant forcebuoyant forcebuoyant force is smaller than the gravitational force of the body, - the density of the body is larger than the densitydensitydensity of liquid or gas.
The body floats at any depth in liquid or gas: - the buoyant force is equal to the gravitational force of the body, - the density of the body is equal to the density of the liquid or gas.
The body floats on the surface of the liquid (partially immersed): - the buoyant force is equal to the gravitational force of the body, if the body submerged deeper, the buoyant force would be greater than the gravitational force of the body, - the density of the body is smaller than the density of the liquid on the surface of which the body floats.
The body rises up being immersed in gas or water: - the buoyant force is larger than the gravitational force of the body, - the density of the body is smaller than the density of the gas or liquid in which the body rises.

Exercise 8
In the air with a density a balloon, with a volume , is floating freely, without changing its height above the Earth. Assume the value of gravitational acceleration as . What is the weight Q of the balloon?
Since the balloon floats freely in the air, the buoyant force in the air is equal to the weight of the balloon. Since the weight of the air displaced by the balloon is equal to the weight of this balloon, its density must be equal to the density of air .
Exercise 9
Write in English why a block made of iron sinks in water and floats in mercury?
The iron block sinks in water because water density () is almost eight times smaller than the iron density (). The buoyant force equal to the weight of the displaced water is therefore smaller than the weight of the iron block. The iron block floats in mercury because the mercury density () is almost twice as high as the iron density (). The buoyant force equal to the weight of the displaced mercury, when the iron block is completely immersed in mercury, is therefore larger than the weight of the iron block. Thus, a block made of iron must come up to the surface of mercury.
