Buoyancy force in fluids Classes Used: PHYS 101

- Show the apparent weight of the ball is less when submerged in water. We can show Archimedes' Principle by partially submerging the ball and comparing it to completely submerged. The mass shown on logger pro plus the mass shown on the newton scale should be constant while varying how far the mass is submerged. A block of wood and a water balloon could also be submerged to show how their apparent weight compares. Parts: - A heavy object (1Kg mass or dense ball) - A wooden block and a water balloon (if desired) - Tank or beaker of water, - Newton scale, - Vernier scale for use with logger pro.
