Procedure
Weigh the objects in the air in grams. Weigh them in grams while completely submerged in
water. The difference in the measured masses is equal to the buoyant force of water of the
fluid on the object. Sag -3oKs = oka
a
Find the value of the volume of the object. Remember water has a density of 1 g / cm’.
Compute the density of each object
density = mass /volume. aL)
Make a table of your findings for the objects, listing the mass in air, mass in water, buoyancy
in grams, volume and the density.
