Buoyant Force
In this lab, students use a high-resolution force sensor to measure the buoyant force on a metal cylinder lowered into a fluid and then determine the relationship between the buoyant force on a submerged object and a) its volume...
Archimedes' Principle
In this lab, students will use force sensors to explore the relationship between the volume of fluid displaced by a submerged object and the buoyant force experienced by that submerged object.
Density
This lab helps students demonstrate that density is an intensive property of a substance and is independent of the shape or size of an object.
Buoyant Force
Students use the Smart Cart force sensor to measure the buoyant force on a metal cylinder lowered into a fluid and then determine the relationship between the buoyant force on a submerged object and a) its volume and b) the weight...
