PROCEDURE
PART 2 : SENSOR CALIBRATION AND EQUIPMENT SETUP
PROCEDURE
Put about 800 mL of water into the beaker and place the
beaker on the lab jack below the hanging cylinder. The
bottom of the cylinder should be touching the water.
Position the metric ruler next to the edge of the lab jack.
Note the initial height of the top of the lab jack.
PART 3 : DATA RECORDING
With the cylinder attached to the Force Sensor hook, press
the tare button on the Force Sensor to zero the sensor.
Record Force vs. Depth data as you submerge the cylinder.
In DataStudio, move the Table display so you can see it clearly.
Click on the Start button to start recording data. The Start
button changes to a Keep and a Stop button. The Force
will appear in the first cell in the Table display. Click the
Keep button to record the force value.
PROCEDURE
Immerse the cylinder 1 millimeters (1 mm or
0.001 m) by raising the beaker of water 1 mm with
the lab jack. Use the metric ruler to measure the
distance that you raise the lab jack.
Click the Keep button to record the next Force
value at the depth of 0.001 m.
Increase the depth of submersion by increments of
1 mm. After each increase in the submersion, wait
for the force reading in the display to stabilize,
then click the Keep button to record a Force value
at the appropriate depth.
Repeat the data recording procedure until the top
of the cylinder is submerged. Stop data recording
by clicking on the Stop button. Run #1 will
appear in the Summary window.
PROCEDURE
In ScienceWorkshop, click the REC button to begin collecting data.
PROCEDURE
For Entry #2, type in 0.001 (1 millimeters). Click Enter to
record the depth and force values.
Increase the depth of submersion by increments of 1 mm. After
each increase in the submersion, wait for the force reading in the
Digits display to stabilize, then click the Enter button to record a
Force value at the appropriate depth.
Repeat the data recording procedure until the top of the cylinder
is submerged. Stop data recording by clicking the Stop Sampling
button in the Keyboard Sampling window.
The Keyboard Sampling window will disappear. Run #1 will
appear in the Data List in the Experiment Setup window.

QUESTION
Why was the Force Sensor zeroed after the
cylinder was attached to the hook?
What is the effects of mass of sample to
the buoyant force?
DISCUSSION
In this experiment, we study about the relationship
water displaced and buoyancy force. Archimedes
principle says that the buoyant force on a submerged
object is equal to the weight of the fluid it displaces.
Buoyancy shows that the buoyant force on a volume of
water and a submerged object of the same volume is
the same. Since it exactly supports the volume of
water, it follows that the buoyant force on any
submerged object is equal to the weight of the water
displaced.
Based on the result of the experiment, we can see that
as the mass of the object increase the volume of the
fluid displaced also increase. This means that the
buoyant force is also increase since the formula for the
buoyancy is equal to the weight of displaced fluid.
As the depth of the immersed object increase, the
