Measurements
Gravity (G)5.00 N
Pull Force (F)5.00 N
Buoyancy (F_buoy)0.00 N
Physics Principle
F_buoy = G - F_pull
F_buoy = ρ_liquid · g · V_displaced
Experiment Steps
1. Measure Gravity (G) in air.
2. Explore V_displaced: Immerse partially vs fully.
3. Explore Depth: Fully immersed at different depths.
4. Explore Density: Compare different liquids.
Conclusion
Summary of factors affecting buoyancy:
| Factor | Result | Conclusion |
|---|---|---|
| Displaced Volume (V) | Buoyancy increases with V | Related |
| Liquid Density (ρ) | Buoyancy increases with ρ | Related |
| Depth (h) | No change (when fully submerged) | Unrelated |
