Description:
This Demo demonstrates Archimedes' Principle which states that any body submerged in fluid is acted on by an upward force. This is known as buoyancy. The first step is too show the spring scale's measurement simply holding the mass, and the top loading scale's measurement holding the beaker with water in it. The second step is to show the change after you put the mass in the water while still holding it with the spring scale.
Location:
- Top loading scales are on Shelf A2
- Spring Scales are in Drawer 10
- Masses are on Shelf A4
- Beakers are on Shelf T
