Our goal is to use Archimedes' principle to graphically determine Pfluid, using a linear curve fit. As you increase the volume of the cylinder submerged in the water it will increase the volume of the water displaced and therefore increase the buoyant force. As the buoyant force is increased, the apparent weight as measured by the force probe will decrease. The following equation describes the apparent weight measured while the metal cylinder is fully or partially submerged in the fluid: Question 9: Match the equation for apparent weight to that of a line: y = mx + b. What quantity would be the independent variable and correspond to x in the equation of a line? What quantity would be the dependent variable that we measure and correspond to y in the equation of a line? What is your slope, m (hint: it needs to have paid in it)? What is the y- intercept, b? y = || Wa = W - Pfluid 9V displaced m X + + b Our goal is to use Archimedes' principle to graphically determine Pfluid, using a linear curve fit.
