When an object is immersed in a liquid, the object will experience a buoyant force, F. This buoyant force is the resultant of the compressive force experienced by a submerged object. This pressure will be higher at greater depth in the liquid. Thus the direction of the buoyant force is upward. Archimedes' law states that the buoyant force experienced by an object is equal to the weight of the liquid displaced by the submerged object. In this experiment, we will learn about the buoyant force as a function of the volume of a submerged object. You will also learn about using Archimedes' Principle to determine the density of liquids.
