What is Fluid Mechanics?

Fluid dynamics is “the branch of applied science that is concerned with the movement of liquids and gases”. It involves a wide range of applications such as calculating force & moments, determining the mass flow rate of petroleum through pipelines, predicting weather patterns, understanding nebulae in interstellar space, and modelling fission weapon detonation.

What Is a Buoyant Force?

The buoyant force is the upward force exerted on an object wholly or partly immersed in a fluid. This upward force is also called Upthrust. Due to the buoyant force, a body submerged partially or fully in a fluid appears to lose its weight, i.e. appears to be lighter. The following factors affect buoyant force: the density of the fluid, the volume of the fluid displaced, the local acceleration due to gravity. An object whose density is greater than that of the fluid in which it is submerged tends to sink. If the object is either less dense than the liquid or is shaped appropriately (as in a boat), the force can keep the object afloat. In terms of relative density, if the relative density is less than one, it floats in water and substances with a relative density greater than one sink in water.

How to Calculate Top Force on Plate?

Top Force on Plate calculator uses Top Force = Density of Fluid*[g]*Distance of Top Edge from Free Surface*Area of Surface to calculate the Top Force, The Top Force on Plate formula is defined as the function of density of fluid, gravitational acceleration, Vertical Distance of Point from Free Surface and Area of Surface. It is a common experience that an object feels lighter and weighs less in a liquid than it does in air. This can be demonstrated easily by weighing a heavy object in water by a waterproof spring scale. Also, objects made of wood or other light materials float on water. These and other observations suggest that a fluid exerts an upward force on a body immersed in it. This force that tends to lift the body is called the buoyant force. The buoyant force is caused by the increase of pressure with depth in a fluid. Top Force is denoted by F_Top symbol.

How to calculate Top Force on Plate using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Top Force on Plate, enter Density of Fluid (ρ_Fluid), Distance of Top Edge from Free Surface (s) & Area of Surface (A) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Top Force on Plate calculation can be explained with given input values -> 768.3608 = 1.225*[g]*5.2*12.3.

FAQ

What is Top Force on Plate?

The Top Force on Plate formula is defined as the function of density of fluid, gravitational acceleration, Vertical Distance of Point from Free Surface and Area of Surface. It is a common experience that an object feels lighter and weighs less in a liquid than it does in air. This can be demonstrated easily by weighing a heavy object in water by a waterproof spring scale. Also, objects made of wood or other light materials float on water. These and other observations suggest that a fluid exerts an upward force on a body immersed in it. This force that tends to lift the body is called the buoyant force. The buoyant force is caused by the increase of pressure with depth in a fluid and is represented as F_Top = ρ_Fluid*[g]*s*A or Top Force = Density of Fluid*[g]*Distance of Top Edge from Free Surface*Area of Surface. Density of Fluid is defined as the mass of fluid per unit volume of the said fluid, Distance of Top Edge from Free Surface is defined as the distance of top edge from the free surface along the plane of the plate & Area of Surface is defined as the total cross sectional area of the surface.
