A soft plastic bag weights the same when empty as when filled with air at atmospheric pressure. Why?

-Added by Shruti Srivastva Physics » Mechanical Properties Of Fluids

Answer:

Shruti Srivastva
The weight of air displced by the bag is same as the weight of air inside it. The increse in weight due to the filled air gets cancelled by the upthrust of air. So weight remains same when air is filled in the bag.

Why a sinking ship often turns over as it becomes immersed in water?

-Added by Shruti Srivastva Physics » Mechanical Properties Of Fluids

Answer:

Shruti Srivastva
When the ship is floating, the metra-centre of the ship is above the centre of gravity. While sinking, the ship takes in water. As a result, the centre of gravity is raised above the metra-centre. The ship turns over due to the couple formed by the weight and the buoyant orce.
