Abstract:
The objective of this experiment is to use the Archimedes principle to evaluate the specific weight of all of the separate materials. This objective of this experiment is significant in that it gives valuable information on how to determine the material composition of an object when given very vague information. From information learned in the accompanying Fluid Mechanics lecture course, basic formulas can be applied to solve for the specific weight of the object in question. The experiment performed will involve the buoyancy principle and include calculating the volume displaced of a submerged object.
This is laboratory experiment under a controlled environment. The results of this experiment can be found by using the weight of each object when dry as well as submerged in water in order to determine the specific weights of the objects. This concludes the Archimedes principle to be true in that the collected values were very close to those of the available accepted data for the respected materials. These findings will likewise set the basis for fluid mechanics study to come during the remainder of this course.
Objective & Introduction:
The objective of this lab experiment is to gather enough information to be able to use the buoyancy principle to determine specific weight of multiple objects. Submarines apply Archimedes’ Principle when changing depth. A submarine dives deeper by opening its ballast tank, collecting enough water to increase the
