Archimedes Law

First of all, the presence of air decreases the weight of the pendulum, (Archimedes law). On the other hand, a moving pendulum carries some amount of air, and it leads to an increase of the pendulum weight. Also, the friction caused by air reduces the oscillating time. 

When we add an insoluble solid to a liquid, the volume of the mixture must increase. In fact the volume must grow by the volume of solid that has been added according to Archimedes Law. 

Archimedes law is thus, in fact, valid for suspensions—but not for the reasons usually stated. Similar remarks apply to the usual proof that the pressure drop in a fluidized bed is equal to the net weight of the bed divided by the cross sectional area (B12, H8). Based on this analysis it seems likely that dilute, laterally inhomogeneous suspensions would display deviations from Archimedes law. 

This result [or more generally, Eq. (147a)] constitutes the extension of Eq. (143) to situations where conventional wall effects are not negligible. It is interesting to note that Archimedes law is now no longer strictly valid rather, in place of Eq. (145) we now obtain... 

The result that Archimedes discovered was the first law of hydrostatics, better known as Archimedes Principle. Aixhimedes studied fluids at rest, hydrostatics, and it was nearly 2,000 years before Daniel Bernoulli took the next step when he combined Archimedes idea of pressure with Newton s laws of motion to develop the subject of fluid dynamics. 

Hydrodynamic marked the beginning of fluid dynamics—the study of the way fluids and gases behave. Each particle in a gas obeys Isaac Newton s laws of motion, but instead of simple planetary motion, a much richer variety of behavior can be observed. In the third century B.C.E., Archimedes of Syracuse studied fluids at rest, hydrostatics, but it was nearly 2,000 years before Daniel Bernoulli took the next step. Using calculus, he combined Archimedes idea of pressure with Newton s laws of motion. Fluid dynamics is a vast area of study that can be used to describe many phenomena, from the study of simple fluids such as water, to the behavior of the plasma in the interior of stars, and even interstellar gases. 

The use of hydraulics is not new. The Egyptians and people of ancient Persia, India and China conveyed water along channels for irrigation and other domestic purposes. They used dams and sluice gates to control the flow and waterways to direct the water to where it was needed. The ancient Cretins had elaborate plumbing systems. Archimedes studied the laws of floating and submerged bodies. The Romans constructed aqueducts to carry water to their cities. 

On the interior wall of the first circuit all the mathematical figures are conspicuously painted — figures more in number than Archimedes or Euclid discovered, marked symmetrically, and with the explanation of them neatly written and contained each in a little verse. There are definitions and propositions, etc. On the exterior convex wall is first an immense drawing of the whole earth, given at one view. Following upon this, there are tablets setting forth for every separate country the customs both public and private, the laws, the origins and the power of the inhabitants and the alphabets the different people use can be seen above that of the City of the Sun. 

From Newton s law for the gravitation force, Archimedes principle for the buoyant force, and the definition of the drag force, the force balance on a drop becomes... 

Three forces act on a gaseous bubble in free liquid (without a solid phase) gravitational force (G = mg = Vpog) Archimedes force (F = Vpg) and the resistant force of the medium defined by Stake s law (R = bTiqroVo), where, g = acceleration due to gravity, ro = radius of bubble, V = volume of bubble, po = density of gases in bubble, p = density of liquid, q = dynamic viscosity of liquid, Vq = speed of bubble at equilibrium of the three forces. 

Our case with Re = wsdP/v = Res has to be put into this. It includes Stokes law cR = 24/Re which is valid for low Reynolds numbers 0 < Re <0.1, and reaches, at the limit of validity Re = 104, the value cR = 0.39. Now, putting (3.279) into (3.278), gives a transcendental equation of the form Ar(Res), from which, at a given Archimedes number Ar, the Reynolds number Res can be developed by iteration. In order to reduce the computation time, without a significant loss in accuracy, (3.279) is replaced by the following approximation, which is valid for the range 0 < Re < 104,... 

This diagram may also be used to illustrate the Newlands-Mendel6eff law of octaves, by arranging the elements along the curve in the order of their atomic weights. E. Loew (Zeit. phys. Chem.y 23, 1, 1897) represents the atomic weight, W, as a function of the radius vector, r, and the vectorial angle, 6 W = f(r, 6), so that r = 6 = JW. He thus obtains W = rO. This curve is the well-known Archimedes spiral. If r is any radius vector, the distances of the points P3,... from 0 are... 

Before X discuss the conclusion to which this premise leads me, let me discuss an equally Important second characteristic of the Innovator. This other characteristic is related to the "Eureka" experience, the "sudden flash of genius" reported of innovators, inventors and other creative people. You remember that Archimedes was In his bath when suddenly, as If with a blinding flash of insight, he saw the solution to his problem of the golden crown. We are told that Isaac Newton was In his garden and, observing an apple fall, suddenly saw the universal law of gravitation In all Its majesty. 

Almost all the laws of mechanics by Aristotle have been proven wrong. Thirty five years after the death of Aristotle, Archimedes was born in circa 287 BC in the city of Syracuse on the coast of Sicily (Ceccarelli 2014). This place is in Italy now. Archimedes many laws and theorems are still valid. In that sense, Archimedes can be called as the father of mechanics. Archimedes father, Phidias, was an astronomer, who estimated the ratio of the diameters of the Sun and the Moon. The word Archimedes in Greek means master of thought. As per his name, Archimedes has contributed a lot to mathematics and mechanical engineering. Figure 3.3 depicts a portrait of Archimedes. 

For any given sphere and power-law liquid combination, the value of the Archimedes number can be evaluated using equation (5.12). The sphere Reynolds munber can then be expressed in terms of Ar and n as follows ...
