Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around a question regarding upthrust, specifically asking for two conditions under which the upthrust of a body remains independent of the depth of immersion in a fluid. The subject area is fluid mechanics.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Assumption checking

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants are exploring the conditions that affect upthrust and questioning the assumptions related to depth independence. There is also a focus on the calculation of upthrust and its dependence on fluid properties.

Discussion Status

The discussion is ongoing, with participants sharing their thoughts on the conditions for independence of upthrust from depth. Some have provided the formula for calculating upthrust, while others are seeking further clarification and ideas.

Contextual Notes

There is an assumption that certain conditions are commonly accepted in fluid mechanics, but these have not been explicitly stated in the discussion. Participants are encouraged to consider these assumptions as they explore the question.

I found this question about upthrust

"give two conditions for the upthrust of a body to be independent upon the depth of imersion"

Any ideas?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
I have only one (and another, which is almost always assumed). What about you ?

How is the upthrust/buoyant force calculated ? What is the expression for it ?
 
Upthrust is calculated as follows

[tex]U = \rho g V[/tex], where [tex]\rho[/tex] is the density of the fluid,
g is the acceleration due to gravity and V the volume of the immersed body.

So, what are the conditions for the upthrust to be independent of the depth of immersion?
 
So Gokul43201 , any ideas?
