Understanding Displacement
Displacement is a fundamental concept in physics that measures the volume of fluid displaced by an object when immersed in it. This principle, discovered by Archimedes, states that the upward buoyant force exerted on a body immersed in a fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the body.
Common Applications
- Ship and submarine design
- Fluid dynamics studies
- Density measurements
- Material science research
Formula Used
Displacement (ρ) = Mass (m) / Volume (V)
Units
- Mass: kilograms (kg)
- Volume: cubic meters (m³)
- Displacement: kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m³)
