Floating Bodies of Equilibrium I
نویسنده
چکیده
A long cylindrical body of circular cross-section and homogeneous density may float in all orientations around the cylinder axis. It is shown that there are also bodies of non-circular cross-sections which may float in any direction. Apart from those found by Auerbach for ρ = 1/2 there are one-parameter families of cross-sections for ρ = 1/2 which have a p-fold rotation axis. For given p they exist for p − 2 densities ρ. There are strong indications, that for all p − 2 densities one has the same family of cross-sections.

Symmetry breaking in a few-body system with magnetocapillary interactions.
We have experimentally investigated the interactions between floating magnetic spheres which are submitted to a vertical magnetic field, ensuring a tunable repulsion, while capillary forces induce attraction. We emphasize the complex arrangements of floating bodies. The equilibrium distance between particles exhibits hysteresis when the applied magnetic field is modified. Irreversible processes...
متن کاملFloating Bodies of Equilibrium II
In a previous paper (physics/0203061) ”Floating bodies of equilibrium” we have shown that there exist two-dimensional non-circular crosssections of bodies of homogeous density ρ 6= 1/2 which can float in any orientation in water, which have a p-fold rotation axis. For given p they exist for p− 2 different densities. However, this was found only in a Taylor-expansion in a parameter which describ...

Explicit solutions of the two-dimensional floating body problem (bodies that can float in all positions) for relative density ρ 6= 1 2 and of the tire track problem (tire tracks of a bicycle, which do not allow to determine, which way the bicycle went) are given, which differ from circles. Starting point is the differential equation given by the author in [12, 13]. The curves are also trajector...

The studied bodies are located in the west of Urumieyeh Lake and northeast of Oshnavieyeh, in the Sanandaj-Sirjan structural zone. Compositionaly, these bodies are formed from gabbro-diorite (Dourbeh) and granite (Nari). Gabbrodiorite rocks are composed of plagioclase (andesine to bytownite), amphibole (calcic group and magnesio-hornblende-tschermakite-hornblende type) and pyroxene (augite) as ...
