Title: Archimedes Principle
Objective:
To determine the density of an object more dense than the water by using Archimedes Principle.
Introduction:
Archimedes’ principle states that for anybody partially or completely submerged in a fluid is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the body. The weight of an object acts downward, and the buoyant force provided by the displaced fluid acts upward. The fluid displaced has a weight W = mg. The mass can then be expressed in terms of the density and its volume, m = pV where density of an object, p = m/v can be found .Archimedes principle applies to object of all densities. If the density of the object is greater than that of the fluid, the object will sink. If the density of the object is equal to that of the fluid, the object will either sink or float. If the density of the object is less than that of the fluid, the object will float.
Whenever a solid body is immersed in a fluid, it displaces a volume of fluid equal to its own volume. Since the displaced fluid was in equilibrium with the surrounding fluid before being displaced, meaning the buoyant force on the displaced fluid was equal to its
