beaker and the water was measured using ……………………………………
and recorded as …………………
Weight of plasticine in the air (real weight) , W 1
Results : (N)
Weight of plasticine in the water (apparent
weight), W 2 (N)
Apparent loss in weight, W L (N)
WL = W 1 – W 2

Mass of empty beaker, mo (kg)

Mass of beaker and displaced water, m1 (kg)

Mass of displaced water, m (kg)

m = m1 - mo
Weight of water displaced , W w (N)
W w = mg

Discussion : 1. Based on the result of the experiment conducted, give one relationship
between the buoyant force and the weight of the displace water

Discussion : 4. Based on the result of the experiment conducted, give one relationship
between the buoyant force and the weight of the displace water
Buoyant force is equal to the weight of water displaced

5. State a physics principle which describe the experiment.

Archimedes’ Principle

6. Explain the physics principle you mention in 2.

Archimedes’ Principle states that buoyant force is equal to the weight of

water displaced when the object is wholly or partially immersed in the
fluid

Safety 1) Make sure the wooden block did not touch the bottom of Eureka can when
precautions : the wooden block is lowered into the can to get more accurate reading

2) Make sure ………………………………….. is perpendicular to the scale of

spring balance
