عندما يتم غمر الجسم الثابت كليا أو جزئيا في سائل ، فإن السائل يمارس قوة على الجسم ، تسمى قوة الطفو.
تعمل هذه القوة من خلال نقطة تعرف باسم مركز الطفو.
قوة الطفو تساوي وزن السائل الذي يزيحه الجسم وتعمل عموديا لأعلى ، وتعرف هذه الظاهرة باسم مبدأ أرخميدس.
يكون الجسم في حالة توازن مستقر إذا عاد إلى وضعه الأصلي بعد إزاحته ، وهو ما يحدد استقراره.
عندما يميل الجسم ، يتحول مركز الطفو ، ويتماشى محور الجسم مع الخط الرأسي من خلال مركز الطفو الجديد ، المعروف باسم المركز الفوقي ، والذي يحدد استقرار الجسم.
يظل الجسم المغمور بالكامل في توازن مستقر أثناء الدورات الصغيرة إذا كان مركز الثقل أقل من مركز الطفو.
عندما يميل الجسم العائم ، تتحرك قوة الطفو لإنشاء زوجين يستعيدان بالوزن ، حتى لو كان مركز الثقل فوق مركز الطفو.
ومع ذلك ، قد تتعرض الأجسام الطويلة والنحيلة لزوجين مقلوبين ، مما يؤدي إلى عدم الاستقرار.

Buoyancy and Stability for Submerged and Floating Bodies

<div style="direction:rtl">في ميكانيكا الموائع، يمثل كل من الطفو والاستقرار مفهومان أساسيان لفهم سلوك الأجسام المغمورة والعائمة. عندما يُغمر جسم ثابت بالكامل أو جزئيًا في سائل، يمارس السائل قوة على الجسم تُعرف باسم قوة الطفو. تؤثر هذه القوة عموديًا نحو الأعلى من خلال نقطة تسمى النقطة المركزية، وهي أيضًا مركز حجم السائل المُزاح. وفقًا لمبدأ أرخميدس، فإن مقدار قوة الطفو يساوي وزن السائل المُزاح بواسطة الجسم. يعتمد استقرار الجسم المغمور في السائل على قدرته على العودة إلى موضعه الأصلي بعد الإزاحة. بالنسبة للأجسام المغمورة، يتم تحديد الاستقرار من خلال مكان مركز ثقل الجاذبية والنقطة المركزية. إذا كان مركز الجاذبية أسفل النقطة المركزية، يظل الجسم في حالة توازن مستقر. بالنسبة للأجسام العائمة، ينشأ الاستقرار من التفاعل بين قوة الطفو ووزن الجسم. عندما ينحرف الجسم، تتحرك النقطة المركزية، مما يخلق ازدواج توازن يعيد الجسم إلى التوازن. ومع ذلك، قد تتعرض الأجسام الطويلة النحيلة إلى ازدواج انقلاب، مما يتسبب في عدم الاستقرار وانقلاب مفاجئ.</div>

how buoyancy keeps bodies stable in water

Buoyancy and stability explain how submerged and floating bodies behave in a fluid. When a body is fully or partly under water and stays still, the fluid pushes upward on it. That upward push is called the buoyant force.

The buoyant force acts through the center of buoyancy. This is the center of the displaced fluid volume. Archimedes’ principle says the buoyant force equals the weight of the fluid displaced by the body.

Stability describes whether a body can return to its original position after it is moved. For submerged bodies, stability depends on the center of gravity and the center of buoyancy. If the center of gravity is below the center of buoyancy, the body stays in stable equilibrium.

Floating bodies become stable through the balance between buoyant force and weight. If the body tilts, the center of buoyancy shifts. That shift creates a restoring couple that turns the body back toward equilibrium. Tall, slender bodies may instead develop an overturning couple, which can make them unstable and lead to capsizing.

concept of pressure at a point

Fluid Pressure at One Point

Fluid pressure at one point is the focus of this lesson. It shows that pressure in a fluid is the same in every direction at a single location. This happens because fluid molecules move randomly and collide with nearby molecules in a balanced way. At a given point, the pressure depends on the surrounding fluid molecules. It is affected by depth and density, not by the shape of the container or the way the fluid is oriented. In a fluid at rest, the pressure acts equally in all directions...

basic equation for pressure field

Pressure Balance in a Fluid Element

The pressure field equation describes how forces stay balanced inside a small fluid element. In fluid mechanics, this balance helps explain how pressure changes from one place to another within a fluid. Two main force types act on a fluid segment: surface forces and body forces. Surface forces come from pressure differences across nearby points in the fluid, so they depend on the local pressure gradient, which is the rate of pressure change with position. Body forces are spread through the...

pressure variation in a fluid at rest

Hydrostatic Pressure and Fluid Depth

Hydrostatic pressure describes how pressure changes with depth in a fluid at rest. In a stationary fluid, the fluid acceleration is zero, so the forces inside the fluid balance. That means pressure at a point below the surface depends on depth, not on the container’s shape or size. Only vertical forces affect the pressure change in this situation. These forces come from the weight of the fluid above a point. When pressure is compared at two different levels, the difference in pressure equals...

measurement of fluid pressure

Manometers and Gauges for Fluid Pressure

Fluid pressure is measured with manometers and related gauges. These tools use a liquid column to show pressure differences. The height of the column gives a simple reading of the force the fluid exerts. A basic manometer is the piezometer. It is a vertical tube that is open at the top and filled with the same fluid being measured. When the tube connects to a container, the fluid height in the tube matches the pressure inside that container. For more detailed measurements, the U-tube...

hydrostatic pressure force on a plane surface

Hydrostatic Pressure on Submerged Surfaces

Hydrostatic pressure creates force on submerged plane surfaces. The force depends on the fluid pressure and the area of the surface. The way that force acts changes with the surface position. For a horizontal surface, the depth stays the same across the whole area. That means the pressure is uniform. The resultant force equals the pressure at that depth multiplied by the surface area, and it acts through the centroid of the surface. For a vertical surface, pressure increases as depth...

hydrostatic pressure force on a curved surface

Finding the Force on Curved Fluid Surfaces

Hydrostatic pressure on curved surfaces is an important idea in fluid mechanics. It helps explain how water pushes on curved structures in civil engineering. Examples include reservoirs, dams, and storage tanks. The pressure changes in both size and direction along the curve. To find the total hydrostatic force on a curved surface, engineers isolate the fluid volume next to that surface. They then study the forces on imaginary horizontal and vertical planes that cut through the volume. The...

Floating Block Buoyancy and Center of Buoyancy

Archimedes' principle is used to analyze the buoyant force on a wooden block that floats in seawater. The block has a rectangular section, and its dimensions, specific gravity, and the specific weight of seawater are used in the calculation. This setup shows how floating bodies stay in equilibrium. The first step is to find the weight of the block from its volume and specific gravity. Then Archimedes' principle is applied. The weight of the displaced water must equal the weight of the block.
