7. ARCHIMEDES PRINCIPLE
“When a body is immersed fully
or partially in fluid it
experienced and upward force
that is equal to the weight of
fluid displaced by it.”
8. MEANING OF DENSITY OF
SUBSTANCE
“Density of substance is defined as
the mass per unit volume.”
12. PROBLEM
• Relative density of Silver is 10.8.The
density of water is 103 Kgm-3 what is the
density of silver with S.I. unit?
Solution: Relative density of Silver=10.8
Relative Density= Density of Silver/Density
of water
Density of Silver=Relative density x Density
of water
=10.8 x 1000 Kgm-3
=10.8 x 103 Kgm-3
13. APPLICATIONS OF ARCHIMEDES
PRINCIPLE
• It is used in designing ships and
submarines.
• Lactometers which are used to
determine the purity of a sample of
milk.
• Hydrometers used to determine the
density of liquids.
