Archimedes’ principle with the bucket and cylinder
The bucket is hung from a spring balance with the cylinder below it; when the cylinder is lowered into water the balance reading falls, and filling the bucket with water restores the original reading, showing that the upthrust equals the weight of the liquid displaced, which is Archimedes’ principle.
- Verifying Archimedes’ principle
- Measuring upthrust on an immersed cylinder
- Relating upthrust to the weight of displaced liquid
- Density and flotation lessons in middle and secondary school
