    Submerged Upthrust
AI Thread Summary
An object submerged in a fluid experiences upthrust, or buoyant force, which equals the weight of the fluid displaced. When an iron cube sinks to the bottom of a beaker, it no longer displaces water below it, leading to a situation where the gravitational force exceeds the buoyant force. Consequently, the beaker exerts an additional force to maintain equilibrium for the cube. If the cube is stationary, the force on its bottom equals its weight plus the weight of the water column above it. If there is no water beneath the cube, the force is solely from the beaker's bottom; if water is present, the force is shared between the beaker and the water.

When we put any object in a fluid it experiences upthrust. Suppose an iron cube is put in a beaker with water. It sinks and reaches bottom. When it reaches bottom and touches the base of beaker there is no water below it. Then will it experience upthrust?

The block experiences a buoyant force equal to the weight of the volume of water displaced...After it sinks to the bottom,because the weight imparted by gravity exceeds the buoyant force, the beaker then exerts an additional force sufficient to keep the block in equilibrium...
 
There is no water below cube. So pressure is exerted on all sides except bottom.
Is my assertion right?
 
If the cube is stationary, its bottom will experience a force equal to the weight of the cube plus the weight of the water in the column above the cube. (Plus the weight of the air in that column extended to the edge of the atmosphere, if we want to be persnickity.) If there is truly no water beneath the cube, that force will be exerted by the bottom of the beaker. If there is some water beneath the cube, the force will be distributed between the beaker and the water.
 
Thread 'Is there a white hole inside every black hole?'
This is what I am thinking. How much feasible is it? There is a white hole inside every black hole The white hole spits mass/energy out continuously The mass/energy that is spit out of a white hole drops back into it eventually. This is because of extreme space time curvature around the white hole Ironically this extreme space time curvature of the space around a white hole is caused by the huge mass/energy packed in the white hole Because of continuously spitting mass/energy which keeps...
Why do two separately floating objects in a liquid "attract" each other ?? What if gravity is an emergent property like surface tension ? What if they both are essentially trying to *minimize disorder at the interfaces — where non-aligned polarized particles are forced to mix with each other* What if gravity is an emergent property that is trying to optimize the entropy emerging out of spin aligned quantum bits
