Archimedes principle and passing gas

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on Archimedes' principle, which states that the buoyant force on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by that object. A user describes an experiment involving a tub filled 4/5 with water and the effect of passing gas while submerged. The user concludes that the gas released increases the overall mass of the object, albeit minimally, and suggests that the displacement of water is influenced by the volume increase due to the gas.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Archimedes' principle
  • Basic knowledge of buoyancy and fluid dynamics
  • Familiarity with concepts of mass and volume
  • Experience with practical experiments involving fluids
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the mathematical formulation of Archimedes' principle
  • Explore the relationship between gas volume and buoyancy
  • Investigate the effects of gas release in various fluid environments
  • Learn about practical applications of buoyancy in engineering
USEFUL FOR

Students studying physics, educators teaching fluid dynamics, and anyone interested in practical applications of buoyancy and gas behavior in fluids.

I used a tub for my hemorrhoid. I learned the archimedes principle which the buoyant force is equal to the mass of water displaced. The tub was filled with water 4/5. I accidently farted in a tub and suddenly the water flew into the hole which is located on the top of tub.does the fart gas increase the mass of object?

Yes it increases the mass of the object altough very little. But the flowing of the water into the hole I think because the volume of the water also increases.
