Create a lab report on buoyancy using the following format (Abstract, Intro, Part 3, Conclusion)

In this experiment, students will determine the density of two "unknown" metal objects using their knowledge of the buoyant force.

Key Concepts

Buoyancy, specific gravity, density

Objectives

  1. determine the density of an unknown object
  2. explain how the specific gravity tells us about the density of an object

explain how density determines if an object will float or sink

Part III: Finding the Specific Gravity (using a spring scale)

buoyant force to determine the density!

  1. Measure the weight of the object in air using a spring scale. (Make sure the object is dry when you do this.)
  2. Measure the weight of the object in water.
  3. Calculate the weight loss in water.
  4. Determine the density using Eq. (6).
  5. Find the densities of both objects.
Mass (kg) L1 L1-L0 L2 L2- L0 Weight Air Weight Water S,g
Aluminum 0.06981 30 19 24.5 13.5 0.6841308 0.4860980 1.4074
