For a free fall, the effective value of acceleration due to gravity is zero. As a result, the buoyant force will not exit. Therefore, Archimedes's principle will not hold good in this situation.

Show how Archimedes principle may be derived from concepts of fluid pressure?

Consider an object being immersed through a height h in a fluid. The pressure at the surface is smaller than the pressure at the bottom of the object. This difference in pressure, Dp, is given by: Dp = hdg where d is the density of the fluid and g is the acceleration of free- fall Now, Dp can be expanded as the ratio of force to area. So: F/A = hdg where F is the force exerted on the body and A is the bottom area of the object => F = Ahdg => F = Vdg since Ah = volume V => F = mfg where mf is the mass of fluid in the volume V ( mf = dV from the definition of density) => F = Weight of fluid displaced (shown) The force F is the upthurst on the body.


What was the federalist definition of free government?

In particular, free government is designed to guard against the most insidious danger of government by the people-the tyranny of the majority over minorities. This principle applies equally to constitutional protection of religious, ethnic, racial, or other minority groups.
