Experiment: Archimedes? Principle

Product Overview

Objective: Determining buoyant updraught as a function of immersion depth Thematic focus:?.. - Measure the force on a body immersed in water. - Determine the updraught and confirm that it is proportional to the depth to which the body is immersed. - Determine the density of water. Experiment description:?.. Archimedes? principle states that a body immersed in a fluid experiences an upward force (updraught or force of buoyancy) FG. The magnitude of this force is equal to the weight of the displaced fluid. For a regularly shaped immersed body the updraught is proportional to the depth h to which the body is immersed as long as this is smaller than the height H of the body itself.
