1. What is Immersed Depth?

Immersed Depth is the depth at which an object is submerged in a fluid. It represents how far below the fluid surface an object sinks due to buoyancy forces acting upon it.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula:

\[ Immersed Depth = \frac{Buoyancy Force}{Cross Section Area Level \times Fluid Specific Weight} \] \[ Dim = \frac{Fb}{A \times \gamma} \]

Where:

\( Dim \) — Immersed Depth (m)
\( Fb \) — Buoyancy Force (N)
\( A \) — Cross Section Area Level (m²)
\( \gamma \) — Fluid Specific Weight (N/m³)

Explanation: The formula calculates how deep an object sinks in a fluid based on the balance between buoyancy force and the object's cross-sectional area interacting with the fluid's specific weight.

3. Importance of Immersed Depth Calculation

Details: Calculating immersed depth is crucial for designing floating structures, understanding buoyancy phenomena, and determining the stability of objects in fluids. It's essential in naval architecture, marine engineering, and fluid mechanics applications.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter buoyancy force in Newtons, cross section area in square meters, and fluid specific weight in Newtons per cubic meter. All values must be positive numbers greater than zero.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is buoyancy force?
A: Buoyancy force is an upward force exerted by a fluid that opposes the weight of a partially or fully immersed object.

Q2: How is cross section area level defined?
A: Cross section area level is the surface area of the fluid's interface within a container, perpendicular to the vertical height being measured.

Q3: What is fluid specific weight?
A: Fluid specific weight is the ratio of a body's weight to its volume, representing the weight per unit volume of the fluid.

Q4: Does this formula work for all fluids?
A: Yes, the formula applies to any fluid, but you must use the correct specific weight value for the particular fluid being considered.

Q5: What are typical units for these measurements?
A: Buoyancy force in Newtons (N), cross section area in square meters (m²), fluid specific weight in Newtons per cubic meter (N/m³), and immersed depth in meters (m).
