Loum hein non prv Peniplinsiaetit siig Science 8 Name: Buoyant Force Lab PURPOSE To determine if the buoyant force is equal to the weight ofthe water it will displace. HYPOTHESIS: The buoyant Force is egual to th Ww PRE-LAB QUESTIONS 41. Whats Archimedes’ principle? An obyect immersed in a ffaid is buoyed up bya force quel to the weight af Puid obis placed bs the object — 2. What is the definition of weight?

Weigh the empty beaker and record its mass. 2. Hang the dynamometer about 0.6 m above the surface of the table, using the universal clamp and the retort stand, 3. Set the dynamometer to 0 N. 4. Fill the overflow can to the spout with water. 5. Place the beaker under the spout ofthe overflow can. ‘6. Hook the 200-9 weight to the dynamometer and record its weight. 7. Lower the dynamometer into the overflow can until the weight is completely submerged. Record its weight again. Weigh the beaker with the overflow water using the electronic scale and record its mass. ‘9.

Calculate the mass of the water displaced. (Mass of beaker with displaced water ~ Mass of empty beaker) Mise = 32175 - . , Wie = 32179 - 249 = [24.684 . Calculate the weight of the water displaced. W = mg DH 84 = 0246S uy W=ms =O, O2408 Ky x GEN/xe = 4 3. Use the following formula to calculate the buoyant force acting on the object: Buoyant force = Weight of the object in the air - Weight of the object in water 2.00N - 1.75 4, Compare your answer for #2 and #3. Does the buoyant force equal the weight of the displaced water?
