Liquids At Rest
Gbogbo ọrọ náà
Welcome to the course on Liquids At Rest! In the realm of Physics, the study of liquids at rest encompasses a multitude of intriguing phenomena that govern the behavior of fluids when they are in a state of equilibrium. One of the fundamental aspects explored in this topic is the **determination of density** of both solids and liquids. Density, denoted by the symbol 'ρ', is a crucial property that quantifies the compactness of a substance by measuring the mass per unit volume. It serves as a pivotal parameter in various scientific calculations and plays a significant role in understanding the composition of materials. Moreover, an essential concept that will be elucidated in this course is the **definition of relative density**. Relative density, also known as specific gravity, is the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of a reference substance, often water. This comparative measure provides valuable insights into the buoyancy and behavior of objects immersed in different mediums, particularly liquids. Understanding the concept of relative density is imperative for analyzing the interactions between various materials and their environments. Furthermore, the course delves into the intriguing phenomenon of **upthrust on a body immersed in a liquid**. When a solid object is submerged in a fluid, such as water, it experiences an upward force known as upthrust or buoyant force. This phenomenon, as per Archimedes' principle, is equal to the weight of the displaced fluid and is instrumental in determining the stability and equilibrium of objects in a liquid medium. Exploring the dynamics of upthrust provides valuable insights into the behavior of submerged bodies and the principles governing their interactions with the surrounding liquid. One of the cornerstone principles that underpin the study of liquids at rest is **Archimedes' principle and the law of floatation**. This fundamental principle, attributed to the ancient Greek mathematician Archimedes, posits that a body wholly or partially submerged in a fluid experiences an upward buoyant force equal to the weight of the fluid it displaces. The law of floatation, a corollary of Archimedes' principle, elucidates the conditions under which an object will float, sink, or remain suspended in a fluid. These principles find diverse applications in everyday phenomena, such as the design of ships, submarines, and hydrometers, highlighting their practical significance in various engineering and scientific domains. As we embark on this journey through the intricacies of liquids at rest, we will explore the interplay between density, upthrust, and buoyancy, unraveling the underlying principles that govern the equilibrium and behavior of objects in fluid environments. By grasping the nuances of these concepts and their applications, you will gain a profound understanding of the captivating dynamics of fluids at rest and their pervasive influence in the realm of Physics. Get ready to delve into a world where the stillness of liquids conceals a universe of fascinating phenomena waiting to be discovered!

You are provided with a loaded boiling tube with a centimeter scale fixed inside it, a transparent vessel filled with water, standard masses 2 g, 5g and 10 g, and a slide vernier caliper. Use the diagram above as a guide to perform the experiment.
(i) Use the slide vernier caliper to measure and record the external diameter, D, of the boiling tube.
(ii) Evaluate \(A = 0.25\pi D^2\), where \(\pi = 3.14\).
(iii) Place the loaded boiling tube gently in the water in the transparent vessel such that it floats vertically.
(iv) Read and record the depth of immersion, y, from the zero mark of the scale fixed inside the boiling tube.
(v) Add a mass, m = 2g, to the boiling tube. Read and record the new depth of immersion, y, from the zero mark of the scale.
(vi) Evaluate \(h = (y - y_0)\), log h and log m.
(vii) Repeat the experiment for four other values of m = 5g, 7g, 10 g, and 12g. In each case, record y and evaluate h, log h, and log m.
(viii) Tabulate the results.

(a) Results and graph
The external diameter of the boiling tube measured with the slide vernier caliper is:
\[D=2.41\ \text{cm}\]
Hence,
\[A=\frac{\pi D^2}{4}=\frac{3.14(2.41)^2}{4}=4.56\ \text{cm}^2.\]
The initial depth of immersion of the loaded boiling tube is:
\[y_0=3.000\ \text{cm}.\]
| Mass, \(m\) (g) | Depth, \(y\) (cm) | \(h=y-y_0\) (cm) | \(\log h\) | \(\log m\) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | 3.439 | 0.439 | −0.358 | 0.301 |
| 5 | 4.097 | 1.097 | 0.040 | 0.699 |
| 7 | 4.535 | 1.535 | 0.186 | 0.845 |
| 10 | 5.193 | 2.193 | 0.341 | 1.000 |
| 12 | 5.632 | 2.632 | 0.420 | 1.079 |
The graph of \(\log m\) against \(\log h\) is shown below.
Using two widely separated points on the best-fit line, \((-0.358,\ 0.301)\) and \((0.420,\ 1.079)\),
\[\text{gradient}=\frac{1.079-0.301}{0.420-(-0.358)}=\frac{0.778}{0.778}=1.00.\]
Thus, \(\log m=\log h+0.659\), showing that \(m\propto h\).
(b)(i)
Law of flotation: A body floating in a fluid displaces a quantity of the fluid whose weight is equal to the weight of the body.
(b)(ii)
Mass of rod:
\[m=\rho V=720(0.1)(0.63)=45.36\ \text{kg}.\]
Weight of rod:
\[W=mg=45.36\times10=453.6\ \text{N}.\]
Density of liquid:
\[\rho_l=1.26\times1000=1260\ \text{kg m}^{-3}.\]
If \(y\) is the depth of immersion, then the upthrust is
\[U=\rho_l(0.1y)g=1260(0.1y)(10)=1260y.\]
For flotation, upthrust equals weight:
\[1260y=453.6.\]
\[y=\frac{453.6}{1260}=0.36\ \text{m}.\]
Depth of immersion = \(0.36\ \text{m}\).

The zone labelled II is called the littoral zone.
To explain: The littoral zone is a part of a body of water that is close to the shore. It is typically characterized by abundant sunlight and nutrient availability, making it a highly productive area for aquatic plants and animals. This zone supports various forms of life such as algae, small fish, and invertebrates. The key feature of the littoral zone is its proximity to the shoreline, where sunlight can penetrate to the bottom, allowing for photosynthesis to occur.
