How many fluid does a submerged object displace?

The amount of liquid a object displaces is directly proportional to the density of the object


How will you measure volume of a body lighter than water?

In order to measure volume, one normally sees how much water it displaces. If the body floats, the water displaced will be equal to the weight of the body, not the volume. It will be necessary to force the body down so that it is totally submerged. If there is an anchor and chain below the surface, the water displaced when the body is attached and submerged will have the same volume as the body.


The buoyant force on an object is least when the object is?

The buoyant force is zero when the object is just touching the liquid. As the object displaces more volume, the buoyant force increases until the object is completely submerged. Once the object is submerged, it doesn't matter how deep it is, the buoyant force remains constant.


Distinguish between submerged body nad immersed body?

SUBmerged means that the entire thing is completely UNDER the fluid surface.IMmersed means that the thing has some part IN the fluid ... that is the part whose Volume displaces the fluid, which has buoyant force applied to it.(So, "completely immersed" is not redundant, but it means "submerged")


How do you find the volume of a liquid in a gradulated cylinder if you know the volume of the liquid plus submerged ball and the volume of the ball alone and is it just a matter of subtraction?

Yes, it's just a matter of subtraction. You are correct. You know how much space that two objects occupy, so you can subtract the space that one takes up to find the volume of the other.

A completely submerged object displaces it own?

A submerged object will displace its own volume of the liquid it is submerged in.


What formula would you use to calculate the volume of irregular objects?

That sounds too difficult. Instead, if the item can handle being submerged in liquid, you could just measure how much liquid it displaces when submerged.

Conclusion of Archimedes principle in lab?

The conclusion of the Archimedes principle is simply that the upward buoyant force that is experienced by a body immersed in a fluid, is equivalent to the weight of the fluid that the body displaces. This allows the volume of an object to be measured by measuring the volume of liquid it displaces after submerging. For any immersed object, the volume of the submerged portions equals the volume of fluid it displaces.


How is the upthrust related to volume of the body submerged in a liquid?

The upthrust is the volume, multiplied by the weight density of the liquid in which it is submerged - or the volume, times the mass density of the liquid, times the gravitational field.

What can be measured by the water displacement method?

You can measure the volume of an object. By putting some water in a container with graduation marks, taking a measurement of the volume of water, then placing the object in the water so that it is totally submerged in the water, then measuring the new volume level. The difference between the new volume and original volume will be the amount of water that the object displaces (or the object's volume).

Yes just subtract the volume of the ball from the volume you measure of the liquid.
