Sample Computations:

Diameter of Cylinder = 0.5588 m

End Area of Cylinder = 0.25π*D2

= 0.25π * (0.5588 m)2
= 0.2452 m2

Mass of Cylinder (g) = 0 g

Total Mass Load of Cylinder (g) = Mass of Cylinder (g) + Added Load (g)
For Trial 1:
Added Load 1 = 50 g

Total Mass Load of Cylinder 1 = Mass of Cylinder + Added Load 1

= 0 g+ 50 g
= 50 g

Total Mass (kg) = Total Mass Load of Cylinder (g) * (1 kg/ 1000 g)

For Trial 1:
Total Mass 1 = Total Mass Load of Cylinder 1 * (1 kg/ 1000 g)
= 50 g * (1 kg/ 1000 g)
= 0.05 kg

Initial Volume of Cylinder Trial 1 = 1690 cm3

Initial Volume of Cylinder Trial 2 = 1670 cm3
Initial Volume of Cylinder Trial 3 = 1680 cm3

Average Initial Volume with Cylinder = (Initial Volume of Cylinder Trial 1 + Initial Volume of Cylinder Trial
1 + Initial Volume of Cylinder Trial 1 ) / 3
= (1690 cm3 + 1670 cm3 + 1680 cm3)/3
= 1680 cm3

Volume of Water 1 = 1740 cm3

Volume Displaced (cm3) = Volume of Water (cm3) - Average Initial Volume with Cylinder

Volume Displaced 1 = Volume of Water 1 - Average Initial Volume with Cylinder

= 1740 cm3 – 1680 cm3
= 60 cm3

Diameter of Cylinder (cm) = 5.588

End Area of Cylinder (cm2) = 0.25π*D2
= 0.25π*(5.588 cm)2
= 24.5247 cm2
Depth (cm) = Volume Displaced (cm3) / End Area of Cylinder (cm2)
Depth 1 = Volume Displaced 1 / End Area of Cylinder
= 60 cm3 / 24.5247 cm2
= 2.4465 cm

Depth (m) = Depth (cm) * (1 m/100 cm)

Depth 1 = Depth 1 (cm) * (1 m/100 cm)
= 2.4465 cm * (1 m/100 cm)
= 0.024465 m

Force (N) = Total Mass (kg) * 9.81 m/s2

Force 1 = Total Mass 1 * 9.81 m/s2
= 0.05 kg * 9.81 m/s2
= 0.4905 N

End Area of Cylinder (cm2) = 24.5247 cm2

End Area of Cylinder (m2) = End Area of Cylinder (cm2) * (1 m2 / 10000 cm2)
= 24.5247 cm2 * (1 m2 / 10000 cm2)
= 0.0025 m2

Pressure (Pa) = Force (N) / End Area of Cylinder (m2)

Pressure 1 = Force 1 / End Area of Cylinder (m2)
= 0.4905 N / 0.0025 m2
= 200.0025 Pa
