Water is water displacement method?
The water displacement method is used to find the volume of an irregularly shaped object. This method was discovered by Archimedes in Ancient Greece, while he was taking a bath. He was so excited at his discovery that he ran through the streets of Athens naked, shouting Eureka!-Start with a known volume of water. It is easiest to use a graduated cylinder or beaker, as they have volume measurements along the side. Record that volume.-Add the solid object. Measure the new volume in the beaker.-Subtract the two volumes, to get the amount of water displaced. This is the volume of the solid object.If you are talking about water displacement to measure the volume of an object, you would use a graduated cylinder, if the object was small enough, and put water into the graduated cylinder, then you put the object in and however much the water rises, usually mm, that is the volume of the objectHope this helped!
Can a tape measure be used to measure the volume of something?
Yes. You can find the dimensions of the object (Assuming the dimensions are measurable) and calculate its volume in centimeters cubed.
Does the buoyant force on an object depend on the weight or of the volume of the object?
volume
Is there only one way to measure volume?
there are 2 ways that I know about: the first way is length x width x height. And the second way is the water displacement method by Archimedes.
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.
