Question

Compare the loss of apparent mass for each of the metal cylinders. What general conclusion can you draw from your results? What do you think you can say about the relationship between the density of a material and the buoyant force it feels? (Hint: Think about Archimedes%u2019 Principle.)

How did you predicted and measured value for how much of the wood would float above water agree? What can you say about the density of an object and whether it floats or sinks? What can you say about the density of an object and how much of it sinks below the level of the water? How much additional mass do you think your wooden block could have supported without sinking? Explain your reasoning

How did your prediction agree with experiment for the plastic jar? How did the amount of mass you could put in the jar compare with the mass of the amount of water the jar held? Remember to take the mass of the jar into account. What general statement can you make from this part of the experiment?

Archimedes is said to have curried favor with a king by determining that a crown the king had commissioned was not pure gold. Explain in detail how he could have done this using only a small sample of pure gold.

Explanation / Answer

1.the force is

F = p x V x g

p is density,V is volume and g = 9.8 m/s^2

2.density of object is

p = (m/V)

where m is mass of object

3.the plastic jar contains the same amount of water as density of water is greater
