This phenomenon of force exerted by fluid on the body is called buoyancy and force is
called buoyant force or force of upthrust.
Archimedes' Principle
It states that the upward buoyant force on a body that is partially or totally immersed
in a fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by it.
Case I : Density of the body is greater than that of liquid (𝜌𝑏𝑜𝑑𝑦 > 𝜌𝑙𝑖𝑞 )
Principle of Floatation
Case II : Density of the body is equal than that of liquid (𝜌𝑏𝑜𝑑𝑦 = 𝜌𝑙𝑖𝑞 )
Principle of Floatation
Case III : Density of the body is less than that of liquid (𝜌𝑏𝑜𝑑𝑦 < 𝜌𝑙𝑖𝑞 )
Problem 20
NCERT Example 9.5 Two syringes of different cross-sections (without needles) filled with
water are connected with a tightly fitted rubber tube filled with water. Diameters of
the smaller piston and larger piston are 1.0 cm and 3.0 cm respectively.
(a) Find the force exerted on the larger piston when a force of 10 N is applied to the
smaller piston.
(b) If the smaller piston is pushed in through 6.0 cm, how much does the larger piston
move out?

Problem 21
NCERT Example 9.6 In a car lift compressed air exerts a force F1 on a small piston having
a radius of 5.0 cm. This pressure is transmitted to a second piston of radius 15 cm. If the
mass of the car to be lifted is 1350 kg, calculate F1. What is the pressure necessary to
accomplish this task? (g = 9.8 ms-2).
Problem 22
The neck and bottom of a bottle are 4 cm and 12 cm in radius respectively. If the cork is
pressed with a force 10 N in the neck of the bottle, then find out the force exerted on
the bottom of the bottle:
Problem 23
If a block of wood floats in water with 3/5 of its volume inside the water then what is the
density of wood?
Problem 24
A block of wood floats in water with one-third of its volume submerged. The same block
floats in oil with 5/9 of its volume submerged. Find the density of (i) wood and (ii) oil
(Density of water is 103 kg/m3)
Problem 25
A cube with an edge of 10cm is immersed in a vessel containing water. A layer of liquid
immiscible with water and having a density of 0.8 × 103 kg/m3 is poured above water.
The interface between the liquid is at the middle of the cube height. Find the mass of
the cube :

2cm when a man gets onto it. Find the mass of the man
Problem 27
A boat carrying a number of large stones is floating in water. What will happen to the
water level if the stones are unloaded into the water ?

density. Find the density of the liquid
Problem 32
A gold ornament weighs 200 gm in air and 180 gm in air respectively. If the ornament
has some air bubble trapped inside, find the volume of air bubble if density of gold is
20 gm/cc.
Problem 33
