Introduction Hydrostatic weighing is an indirect measurement used to predict body fat percentage. It is typically the most accurate means of determining body fact percentage‚ and is based on measuring an individual’s body density. Archimedes’ principle explains that the upward buoyant force exerted on a body immersed in a fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid that the body displaces. Due to the fact that body fat is less dense than water‚ it increases one’s buoyancy‚ while the fat-free mass

Experiment 7: Relative Density Laboratory Report Marella Dela Cruz‚ Janrho Dellosa‚ Arran Enriquez‚ Alyssa Estrella‚ Zacharie Fuentes Department of Math and Physics College of Science‚ University of Santo Tomas España‚ Manila Philippines Abstract The experiment was conducted to show the different methods on how to determine an object’s composition through its density and to determine an object’s density by displacement method and the Archimedes Principle. Results show that. The materials

Experiment #1: Mass‚ Volume and Density Performed: 2/2/11 Turned in: 2/9/11 The purpose of this experiment is to verify the independence of X and Y motion for a projection. We watch the professor perform this experiment. The equipment used in this experiment was a projectile launcher (ME-6800)‚ a drop shoot accessory (ME-9859)‚ one photogate (ME-9204A)‚ white paper‚ carbon paper‚ two time-of-flight timing pad (ME-6810)‚ two balls (ball 1 and ball 2)‚ and an interface computer.

Lab One: Laboratory Techniques and Measurements Abstract The Lab One was done on Laboratory Techniques and Measurements. The first experiment with my Lab partner; we got opportunity to experiment how to conduct measurements in length by using metric conversion. We started in cm units and changed into mm by x10‚ and moving decimal point x1 to right. To find in meter we moved from cm to meter two decimal points to the left or double check our self divided by 100 and all records in data

In this lab‚ there was a comparison between accuracy and precision of densities measured by volume. Mass measurements are often used units in the metric system. Volume can be examined a borrowed unit. The volume measurements were made in mL. Every measurement had a level of hesitancy affiliated with it. The experiment could feel uncertain from the object used for measurement and from the accuracy of the person doing the measuring of the volume. Because of this uncertainty‚ the experiment must be

dropper’s density. When the density of the dropper increased‚ it became more dense than the water it was in‚ causing the dropper to sink. When pressure was released‚ the air was sucked back into the dropper making it less dense than the water again‚ so it floats back up to the top of the bottle.
