Question

Introduction: fluid Buoyancy keeps boats afloat and blimps in the sky. As ever, when arn object is near the surface of the Earth, it experiences a downward force due to gravity, Cross Sectional Area A Fb If the object is also in a fluid, it experiences an upward force known as the buoyant force. The value of the buoyant force is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced, WFD, obj Where f ls the density of the fluid and VFD is the volume of the displaced fluid Procedure 1. Today's lab will be stated simply: Find the water level on the outside of a cylinder when it is floating in water. a. b. C. d. Draw a free-body diagram of the experimental setup Neatly write out any and all measurements and calculations USING A DRY ERASE MARKER, accurately mark this level on the outside of the cylinder. Under supervision of your lab instructor, test your prediction. You will be awarded one (1) lab bonus point for being within ±5mm of your prediction

Explanation / Answer

1. Take the object to be immersed and measure its dimensions using Vernier Callipers.

2.. Note down its dimesions and find out the cross sectional area.

3. Note down its height and find the volume.

4. Also weigh the object and record its mass.

5. Mark the water level in the cylinder before and after immersing the object.

6. Note down the change in volume. (This should be same as the volume of the object, initially calclated).

7. Using the equations given, find out the observations and comapare the results.
