Introduction

In these four activities you will work on finding the density of different objects, you will see the Archimedes principle in action and you will learn how to plot a chart showing that the pressure in a liquid is directly proportional to the depth at which the pressure is measured.

If you place an orange in water, would it sink or float? What about a tomato? A can of soda with no sugar?

Density is a measure of how much mass is occupying a given space.

In formula,

= (density of the fluid)(acceleration of gravity )(volume of the part of the object that is inside the fluid)
