Its purpose is to gain marks in the subject APL. Objective: To measure the buoyant force of different objects using Archimedes’ principle. Hypothesis: When the object was immersed in the water its weight should decrease due to the force exerted by the solution on the object. The weight of displaced solution will be equal to the weight of the immersed object. …show more content…
The principle states that upward buoyant force, which is exerted on a body immersed in a liquid will be equal to the weight of the liquid that the body will displace. (Density of object)/(Density of fluid)=(Weight of fluid)/(Weight of displaced
