We were given a piece of tin foil to make into our ship. We formed a rectangular flat-bottomed ship with short sides all around it from our piece of tin foil. Next, using the formula to find the volume of an object, we calculated the volume of the ship that we had created. Then, to get our prediction, we used a calculation that took the volume of our ship, multiplied the volume of our ship by the density of the water and divided that answer by the weight of a penny. After that, we placed our ship into a container of water, and keeping an accurate count, placed one penny at a time into our ship until it sank to the bottom of the container of water. After that, we subtracted the predicted number of pennies from the actual number of pennies to…
Discussion: This lab could have been improved by performing the lab simulation multiple times and the data averaged out to reduce the percentage error. The results of this lab correspond to the rules of Boyle’s law, the volume of the container decreased as the pressure increased while the temperature remained the same.…
* The calculated volume is more accurate than the Archimedes’ Principle because it may have a higher percentage of error.…
8. Neutral buoyancy means that something has the same density as the water around it…
water is given by the hydrostatic approximation, that it is proportional to the depth of water above.…
Buoyancy – buoyancy is the amount of support experienced by an object immersed in a liquid or gas.…
A boat floats, because the fluid in which it is floating offsets the downward pull of gravity and pushes it up.…
If you put an egg in tap water, it will sink to the bottom. If you add enough salt, the egg will float to the surface. Density is the mass or volume of an object. It’s easier to think of it as the thickness of the object. Buoyancy is the force that allows an object to float. I performed a fun experiment to see how increasing density of water could make an egg float or submerge. Anyone can do it.…
During an experiment, there was a glass eye dropper placed into a bottle filled to the brim with water with the cap closed. The glass eye dropper floated in the bottle when the bottle was left alone. When the bottle was squeezed, however, the glass dropper sunk to the bottom. When the pressure was released from the bottle, the dropper floated back to the top of the bottle. The dropper floated at the top of the bottle when no pressure was applied, because the air inside the dropper was less dense than the water. When pressure was applied to the bottle, it squeezed the water which squeezed the air out of the dropper, increasing the dropper’s density. When the density of the dropper increased, it became more dense than the water it was in, causing the dropper to sink. When pressure was released, the air was sucked back into the dropper making it less dense than the water again, so it floats back up to the top of the bottle.…
Submarines have been great at diving to depths that no man can dive to without protective armor and a major question is how this is possible. The answer lies in their structure and build. They are built following Archimedes’ principle and Boyle’s law.…

The size of which is the same to the weight of the liquid placed by the body. The volume of dislodged liquid is identical to the volume of a protest completely drenched in a liquid or to that portion of the volume underneath the surface for a question incompletely submerged in a fluid. The heaviness of the uprooted segment of the liquid is identical to the greatness of the light power. The light power on a body coasting in a fluid or gas is additionally identical in greatness to the heaviness of the skimming object and is inverse in heading; the protest neither ascents nor sinks. For instance, a ship that is propelled sinks into the sea until the point that the heaviness of the water it dislodges is simply equivalent to its own weight.…
Archimedes was asked by a king, one day to find out if his crown was made out of pure gold without damaging it. Before Archimedes came up with the concept of the Archimedes principle, the only way to find out if things were made out of pure gold was they would have to melt the item. To figure if the crown was made of pure gold Archimedes used the Archimedes’s principle. Archimedes’s principle states that a body immersed in a fluid experiences a buoyant force equal to the weight of the displaced fluid.…
Now that we understand what buoyancy is, let's take a look at water displacement, since it has so much to do with buoyancy and the floating of a boat. Archimedes is said to have discovered this scientific principle as he lowered himself into a bathtub one day. No doubt you have seen it yourself. When you sit in a bathtub, or lower anything into water, the water level rises, because some of it is being displaced. An object will always displace an amount of water equal to its weight or its volume, whichever comes first. This principle, coupled with the principle of buoyancy, reveals how boats are made to float.…
Stability is a measure of the tendency of an ocean vehicle to return to its upright configuration if inclined or perturbed by an external force (Figure 1). For different operating conditions, stability can be classified into the following categories: Intact stability (static stability and dynamic stability) and damage stability. It is imperative to ascertain the overall stability…
