EXPERIMENT 3
OBJECTIVES
At end of experiment,students will be able to:
3.Know the relationship between the buoyant force on an object and the
weight of liquid displaced.
MAIN IDEA:
There are 3 types of presure i.e fluid buoyancy,fluids in n still condition
and fluids in moving condition.In this experiment,we will examine the
fluid buoyancy is still condition.
APPRATUS:
-Retort stand
-Spring Balance
-Eureka Beaker
-String
ANALYSIS:
From the experiment ,we found that the result of weight of water displaced are
equal to the buoyant force.At the same time, the actual weight of object
reduced when we put the object into the beaker are filled up with water.This is
because if the object is not accelerating,the upward force acting on it must
equal the downward force of gravity on it. When the object is in the air, the
spring scale provides all of the upward force. When the block is submerged in
the water, the water provides part of the upward force ,so the spring scale
reading is decreased by an amount equal to the buoyant force.
ERROR ANALYSIS:
When we carry out the experiment ,we must becareful the systematic error and
parallax error.As an example ,before we using the electrical balance we must
make sure didn’t have any systematic error with the electrical balance.Beside
that ,before we want take the result at the spring balance ,we must put a piece
of paper behind the spring balance to avoid the parallax error.We also can
repeat the experiment to reduce the error.
PROCEDURE:
1.Hang a spring balance from the arm of retort stand.
2.Tie the wooden block with a string and hang it to the spring balance.
5.Then,move the arm of the retort stand with the wooden block still tied to it,
slowly downwards.
7.Water will spill out of the 200 ml beaker and into the 100 ml beaker.
DIAGRAMS:
CALCULATION:
1. Conversion of units:
a. g→kg
example:
185.68g→kg
=185.68÷1000
=0.18568 kg
b. kg→N
example:
0.18568kg→N
=0.18568×9.81
=1.8215 N
Example:
=0.8945 N
Weight,T2
= 1N - 0.1N =0.9N
RESULT:
a. Weight of empty beaker =95.50 g
=936.855 N
b.
DISCUSSION:
If the metal block just desribed was suspended from a spring scale,
what happen to the reading of that scale when the block is
submerged in the water.
Solution: If the metal block is not accelerating,the upward force acting on it must
equal the downward force of gravity on it. When the block is in the air, the spring
scale provides all of the upward force. When the block is submerged in the water, the
water provides part of the upward force ,so the spring scale reading is decreased by
an amount equal to the buoyant force.
QUESTION:
1. based on experiment , which feels the greatest buoyant force?explain
From the experiment ,we found that the relationship between the weight of
water displaced are equal to the buoyant force on each is the same because of
identical pressure environments and equal water displacement. The difference
in behavior comes from the comparison of that buoyant force with the weight
of the object.
CONCLUSION :
After from the experiment ,we able to write and use the general formula of presure.We also
known the weight of water displaced is equal to the buoyant force. We also known if the
metal block is not accelerating,the upward force acting on it must equal the downward force
of gravity on it. When the block is in the air, the spring scale provides all of the upward force.
When the block is submerged in the water, the water provides part of the upward force ,so
the spring scale reading is decreased by an amount equal to the buoyant force.
