Center of Buoyancy - everything in water has a COB 3. Moment of Force - the turning effect of the force about a point 4. If you wanted to strengthen a limb in the water, you want less assistance from buoyancy and would then move against the assistance of buoyancy towards the vertical position of the limb. Other terminology related to buoyancy a. Movement towards a horizontal position.
Men have less weight relief than women in a water environment.
Density of a fluid - higher the density, the greater the hydrostatic pressure. Density of salt water is greater than fresh water. Effect of depth of immersion on pressure level - there is a 5x greater hydrostatic pressure at the feet as compared to the chest, so as you go further below the surface of the water the hydrostatic pressure gets greater. Benefits of Hydrostatic Pressure D. Cohesion - in a liquid. Each molecule exerts an attractive force on those surrounding it and this results in resistance to any object passing through that liquid.
