Archimedes’ Principle for Brownian Liquid
نویسنده
چکیده
We consider a family of hard core objects moving as independent Brownian motions confined to a vessel by reflection. These are subject to gravitational forces modeled by drifts. The stationary distribution for the process has many interesting implications, including an illustration of the Archimedes’ principle. The analysis rests on constructing reflecting Brownian motion with drift in a general open connected domain and studying its stationary distribution. In dimension two we utilize known results about sphere packing.

An Improvised Method For The Determination Of Density Of Solids
Experimental procedure Density of a substance is a physical quantity which is defined as mass of unit volume of the substance. There are many methods for the determination of density of substances. To find out the density we need a physical balance for the measurement of mass and a measuring cylinder for volume. But there are other many methods where the density of substances is determined with...
متن کاملCapillarity and Archimedes’ Principle of Floatation
We consider some of the complications that arise in attempting to generalize a version of Archimedes’ principle of floatation to account for capillary effects. The main result provides a means to relate the floating position (depth in the liquid) of a symmetrically floating sphere in terms of readily observable geometric quantities. A similar result is obtained for an idealized case correspondi...
متن کاملArchimedes’ floating bodies on a spherical Earth
Archimedes was the first to systematically find the centers of gravity of various solid bodies and to apply this concept in determining stable configurations of floating bodies. In this paper, we discuss an error in a proof developed by Archimedes that involves determining whether a uniform, spherical cap will float stably with its base horizontal in a liquid on a spherical Earth. We present a ...
متن کاملMacromolecular Investigations by Laser light Scattering
In a liquid suspension the small particles dance around randomly executing Brownian motion. When laser light is focussed onto such a solution, the total light scattered consists of superposition of the light scattered from the individual particles in the scattering volume. Interference effects between the light scattered from different particles executing Brownian motion will cause this total i...

Lead free, eco-friendly bismuth borate glasses doped with alkali oxides of composition xLi2O+(30-x)Na2O+55B2O3+15Bi2O3 (x = 5,10,15,20,25) were prepared by melt quenching technique. Amorphous nature of glasses was confirmed by X-ray diffraction. Density measurements were carried out at room temperature by standard principle of Archimedes with Xylene as an immersion liquid. The non-linear ...
