Archimedes, Pascal's and Bernoulli's Principles
Archimedes Principle
Archimedes’ principle, physical
law of buoyancy, discovered by
the ancient Greek
mathematician and inventor
Archimedes, stating that;
Anybody completely or
partially submerged in a
fluid (gas or liquid) at rest
is acted upon by an
upward, or buoyant, force,
the magnitude of which is
equal to the weight of the
fluid displaced by the body.
FORMULA: Fb= buoyant force
p= fluid density
Fb = -pgV g=acceleration due
to gravity
v= fluid volume
Archimedes Principle
Applied in Daily Life
 BEACH BALLS
 SHIPS
 FLOATING
 HYDROMETER
 SWIMMING
Pascal’s Principle Bernoulli’s Principle
Formula:
P= PRESSURE
F= FORCE P= F/A
A= AREA
A change in
pressure applied to
an enclosed fluid is
transmitted 1 2 1 2
P1 + pv 1 + pgh1= P2 + pv 2 + pgh2
2 2
undiminished to all
P= fluid density
portions of the fluid
g= acceleration due to gravity
and to the walls of
P1= pressure at elevation 1
its container.
v1= velocity at elevation 1
h1= height of elevation 1
P2= pressure at elevation 2
v2= velocity at elevation 2
h2= height at elevation 2
The pressure in a
fluid decreases as
the speed of the
fluid increases. The
principle is only
applicable for
isentropic flows:
when the effects of
irreversible
processes and non-
adiabatic processes
are small and can be
neglected.
