Pre-Lab Questions
• Archimedes' principle is a fundamental concept in fluid mechanics and relates directly to the
buoyant force. Archimedes' principle states that:
"Any object, wholly or partially immersed in a fluid, is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the
fluid displaced by the object."
In your own words, explain the Buoyant Force as it relates to Archimedes Principle. Ensure that you
discuss this in terms of the equation for Buoyant Force.
The Buoyant Force is when an object comes into contact with the water surface and experiences
more force when the object is under the water surface. The deeper an object is the more water
pressure it has to deal will. Two objects can experience pressure but the object that is deeper than
the other object deals with more pressure. The formula that applies to this concept is P=pgh, p
representing the density, g is the gravity, and h is the height. Pressure is apllied downards when
someone continues to go deeper into a body of water, gravity is also a factor, and the height
describes how much water is placed on top of something or someone. For a lab experiment of
comparing two different masses Buoyant Force will also be observed by comparing the water
displacement after it has been placed inside a beaker filled with water. A 5N scale will be used to
measure the total mass of an object without being submerged in water and within the beaker.
When a mass is placed within the water the mass becomes lighter, allowing the force of the object
to fall slower compared to normal gravity levels.
• Draw a free body diagram of a hanging mass before it is submerged in water. Make sure to label
your forces and include your handwritten name in the background.

with the spring scale?
