Experimental verification of Archimedes' principle

Measure the volume of water displaced. Let it be V.

Weight of water displaced by solid = Vpg

Therefore,

W1-W2 = Vpg

Weigh the object in air using a spring balance and note the reading W1.

Hence, This verifies Archimedes' principle.

Fill the measuring cylinder with water till some level.

Immerse the object into the water in the measuring cylinder. Note the weight, W2 from the spring balance

Experimental verification

Loss of weight in solid when immersed in water = W1-W2

Apparatus: Spring balance, measuring cylinder, any irregular small object, thread, water.

Archimedes' principle

When a body is immersed fully or partially in a fluid, it experiences an upward force that is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by it.
