    two different experimental methods‚ displacement and floatation. The theory is that both methods should have the same density results; the goal is to determine which method is “best”. 1st Method: Displacement This method was first known as Archimedes ’ principle. The principle states that a body immersed in a fluid is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the displaced fluid. (REF: www.infoplease.com) Our group measured density with different amounts of product‚ knowing that intensive

    mathematician and philosopher Rene Descartes‚ who lived from 1596 until 1650. Cartesian diver lab is used commonly in scientific experiments to illustrate principle of buoyancy. The objective of this Cartesian diver lab is to demonstrate Pascal ’s law and Archimedes ’ principles. Observation is the key to conduct this experimental study of the Cartesian diver. First a 2-liter bottle is filled with water to almost all the way to the top‚ then prepare the diver which is a test tube‚ fill the test tube about

    Archimedes once said “Give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it‚ and I shall move the world..” Archimedes is considered to be one of the greatest ancient mathematicians. Archimedes was born in about 287 BC in Syracuse‚ Sicily. At the time Syracuse was an independent Greek city-state with a 500-year history. Clothing in Ancient Greece primarily consisted of chiton‚ peplos‚ himation and chlamys. Clothes were mainly home made and often served many purpose. Archimedes’ father

    called because one thinks of the areas measured expanding so that they account for more and more of the required area. Archimedes made one of the greatest contributions of the Greek. One advancement he made was to show that the area of a segment of a parabola is 4/3 the area of a triangle with the same base and vertex and 2/3 of the area of the circumscribed parallelogram. Archimedes also “invented” the volume and surface area of a sphere‚ the volume and area of a cone‚ the surface area of an ellipse

    exhaustion‚ which made it possible to compute the area and volume of regions and solids by breaking them up into an infinite number of recognizable shapes. Archimedes of Syracuse developed this method further‚ while also inventing heuristic methods which resemble modern day concepts somewhat. (See Archimedes’ Quadrature of the Parabola‚ The Method‚ Archimedes on Spheres & Cylinders.) It should not be thought that infinitesimals were put on a rigorous footing during this time‚ however. Only when it was supplemented

    the velocity of the fluid is high‚ its pressure is low‚ and where the velocity is low the pressure is high. Archimedes’ Principle. -It was discovered by Archimedes‚ an ancient Greek mathematician who died in 212 B.C. According to this principle‚ an object immersed in a fluid experiences a buoyant force that is equal in magnitude to the force of gravity on the displaced fluid. Archimedes was assigned by King Hero to find out if his crown was made of pure gold. For a time‚ he was puzzled. One day
