ABSTRACT

If we consider the left-hand sides of these equalities as Cartesian components of a vector, we obtain Z

grad p dV =

Z

p(n) d; (C.8)

since n =< n; i > i+ < n; j > j+ < n;k > k: (C.9)

As a matter of general interest, note that we can immediately obtain Archimedes' buoyancy principle for a body totally immersed in a liquid with constant density , in which case, grad p = g, so that the buoyancy force reads

F() = Z

p(nd) =

Z

g dV = g

Z

dV = gM =W; (C.10)

where W is the weight of the displaced mass of uid.
