    The document discusses two topics: 1) Bourdon tube pressure gauges, which use the deflection of an elastic bourdon tube proportional to applied pressure to measure medium to high pressures. 2) Buoyancy, where the upward buoyant force on a submerged object equals the weight of the fluid displaced. Stability of floating objects depends on the metacentric height, or distance between the center of gravity and metacenter point.

    Bourdon Tube Pressure Gauge
    Basic Principle of Bourdon tube pressure gauge: when an elastic transducer ( bourdon

    tube in this case ) is subjected to a pressure, it defects. This deflection is proportional to

    the applied pressure.

    Description of Bourdon tube Pressure Gauge: The main parts of this instruments are as

    follows: An elastic transducer, that is bourdon tube which is fixed and open at one end to

    receive the pressure which is to be measured. The other end of the bourdon tube is free

    and closed. The cross-section of the bourdon tube is elliptical.


    11
    The bourdon tube is in a bent form to look like a circular arc. To the free end of the

    bourdon tube is attached an adjustable link, which is in turn connected to a sector and

    pinion as shown in diagram. To the shaft of the pinion is connected a pointer which

    sweeps over a pressure calibrated scale.


    Applications of Bourdon Tube pressure gauge: They are used to measure medium to
    very high pressures.

    Buoyancy
    • Whenever a body is placed over a liquid, either it sinks
    down or floats on the liquid.

    • Two forces involve are:


    1. Gravitational Force
    2. Up-thrust of the liquid
    • If Gravitation force is more than Upthrust, body will sink.
    • If Upthrust is more than Gravitation force, body will float.

    Buoyancy:
    • A body in a fluid, whether floating or submerged, is buoyed
    up by a force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced.
    • “The tendency of a fluid to uplift a submerged body,
    because of the up-thrust of the fluid, is known as force of
    buoyancy or simply buoyancy.”
    • The buoyant force acts vertically upward through the
    centroid of the displaced volume and can be defined
    mathematically by Archimedes’ principle as follows:

    Fd   f Vd Fd  Buoyantforce
     f  Specific weightof fluid
    Vd  Displacedvolume of fluid
    • “Whenever a body, floating in a liquid, is given a small
    angular displacement, it starts oscillating about some point.
    This point, about which the body starts oscillating, is called
    metacenter.”
    • “The distance between centre of gravity of a floating body
    and the metacentre (i.e distance between cg and m in Fig.)
    is called metacentric height.”
    • Metacentric height of a floating body is a direct measure of
    its stability.
    • More the metacentric height of a floating body, more it will
    stable and vice versa.
