General Aim of Archimedes Principle Simulation

Determining the relative density or specific gravity (SG) of solid and liquids using Archimedes principle through archimedes law experiment.

Method of Archimedes Principle Simulation

Weighing method

Learning Objectives (ILOs)

  • By the end of Archimedes Principle Simulation, student wil:

  • Understand the concept of Archimedes buoyancy principle and the physics behind buoyancy force through Archimedes simulation.
  • Set up an experiment for specific gravity determination of a solid or a liquid. Hence, the material can be identified.

Theoretical Background / Context

  • Buoyancy is an upward force (FB) exerted by a fluid that opposes the weight of an immersed object. 
  • Archimedes' principle states that if a body is immersed in a liquid, it will be acted upon by upward force equal to the weight of the displaced liquid, which is essentially Archimedes principle explained in simple terms.

Principle of Work

In the Archimedes principle virtual lab, weighing a body in air, water and a liquid, will enable us to determine the specific gravity of the body and the liquid through simple relations that are based on Archimedes’ principle.
