Part 2: Buoyancy 1. Through a web browser, navigate to https://ophysics.com/fl1.html to Buoyancy open a new simulation as shown in the right figure. 2 . Run the simulation. You can change the densities of the object (po) and the fluid (PF) in the simulation. 3 . What happens when the density of the object is less than that of liquid? The object floats Page 2 of 4 5. Set po = 0.4 g/cm' and PF = 1.0 g/cm. Run the simulation and wait for the object to float on the liquid's surface. 6. The force exerted by the fluid is the buoyant force (B). When floating, which force is greater: the gravitational force (weight) or the buoyant force? Defend your answer. (Newton's laws of motion) They are both the same 7. Check "Show Numbers". Record the weight of object and buoyant force. Weight of object = 3. 92 N Buoyant force = 3.92 N 8. What volume of water does the object displace when it floats in the liquid? 9. What is the mass of that displaced liquid in kilogram? 10. What is the weight of the displaced liquid? 11. Compare the weight of the displaced liquid and the buoyant force. Page 3 of 4
